This is a variation of an open mic. In the style of LA's Writer's Round, there are three rounds of performers. The first round consists of three performers selected randomly from a bowl. Artists can show up early to get their name included or sign up online (https://www.storyandtune.com/writers-round-sd). Each artist takes a turn performing one song, explaining the story or talking about the songwriting process. Artists play two songs total in the first round. The second round is the featured round of three artists previously arranged by the host. The featured performers do the same thing as the first round, but play four songs total. After round two, each featured artist picks a name out of the bowl for the final round. This is a great opportunity to network with local songwriters and creators. Many notable musicians have already attended to include: Lee Coulter, Jeff Berkeley, Aaron Bowen, Rachel de Koekkoek, and Joshua Taylor.

This open mic has 19 slots and are selected via a lottery system. There is a featured performer every week as well. Show up early (around 5:30pm) to put your name on a ticket, and place it in the polka-dotted top-hat located on stage. At 5:55pm, the host, Myles, pulls those tickets from the hat, and the artist writes their name on the list. Slots are filled in order of the names being picked. Attendance during ticket-pulling is mandatory. If person is not present when their name is called, then we hold on to it and keep it for next week. When the list fills up, Artists who do not get called will have their tickets saved for the following week. This increases the odds of being picked. After three consecutive weeks of not being selected, artists will receive a slot of their choice on week number four.

Yes, you read right. A LIVE Open Mic!!! That being said, read this very carefully. Due to the fact that the world is still in a pandemic, only means that everyone in the the state of NJ must respect the covid regulations.

They are as follows. The Pavilion may only accept 25% capacity. The Lounge itself is a big space with a full bar and kitchen. That being said the place can only accept upto 60 people, including the staff and hosts. Please honor the owners and staff. Please wear your mask at all times if not consuming food or drinks, or if on stage.

The Open Mic/Jam offers a full back line for solo, duos, or full band setups. 2 Marshall Amps, Bass Amp, and 8 peice Drum Kit (all mic'd up). You are more than welcome to bring your own amp. Any genre of music is welcomed. If you have a stringed or horn instrument, please be sure to tune up before you play. Make sure you know exactly what it is that you wanna play (especially when playing with musicians you don't know).

This cannot be stressed enough. If you are sick, have symptoms, or haven't been in touch with a doctor relating to flu/covid 19 symptoms, please stay home and quarantine.

Come out and enjoy live music again. Don't forget to help support local businesses like the Pavilion and its staff. Hope to see you Friday Night!!!
