The 6:30pm post is correct. Sign-up doesn't start until 7:30pm but the turn out (see photos) is many. The line files down the block. First timers get preference upon signing in. There's a $1.00 charge per person, player or not, upon entering. If you'd like a CD of your performance, it's $5.

This may be one of the longest running continious open mics on the West Coast. Started January 1970, without interruption, by owner Tom Seymour and now run by his son Richard.

The atmosphere, is without question, one of the best in open mics I've seen yet. The audience is large and responsive. Check out the photos and you'll see what I mean. Additional photos online at www.JohnKaye.com

great open mic!! Highly recommend!. This is the greatest monthly open mic I have ever seen. It is one of a kind in the sense that it is veeeery popular and crowded. and as most of you know practically all open mics that are this popular snd crowded are a one song deal such as "the claremont falk music center" but this one gives you two songs.

Played the open mike on my 60th birthday like I saidI would. I did two Rod Stewart songs "I don't want to talk about it." and "Smile." Had a great time "Scared Like All Get Out" Had about 30 people family and friends The guys at the Fret House were just great! They made it very easy. Best to all! Think I'm going Back soon!

What kind of music is generally played there on open mic nights? Are there bands or just solo artists? Is there an all ages open mic night? If not here does anyone know where there might be?
