This gives an opportunity for musicians, poets, orators, comedians, writers, and any others to practice their craft and present their art. We ask that those who contribute to the evening would remember to bring your own instruments (acoustic guitar, guitar, bass, hand drums etc.) (NO full bands unless all acoustic with hand drums. No drum kits of any kind)
Also, please check the monthly calendar
to make sure there are no changes in the schedule. We try to be consistent, but there are times that we need to rearrange the schedule due to other events. Check out our page for last minute details. OPEN MIC NIGHT RULES
1. Open Mic starts at 9:00pm and will run until 1:00am.
2. Artist will be given a maximum of 10 minutes or 3 songs to perform their work. This includes setup and tear down of any equipment brought with them.
3. Sign up will be available only from 8-9pm.
4. If you are late or not around at your scheduled time, do not expect to participate in that evening unless there are available time slots. You will need to be prompt and ready to go (tuned, prepared, etc.) Respect your fellow performer. Please avoid disrupting others during their presentations. This includes loud talking, distracting, or anything else that would detract from their performance.
6. The Open Mic Host of the evening is in charge of the open mic night. If special rules or adjustments need to be made, this person is in complete control.
7. Please keep sound levels at an appropriate level. Hearing loss is a bad thing!
8. Cheer for your fellow artists. You may not like what they just did, but support them anyway.
9. Have a great time and bring friends. The Elbo Room's goal is for everyone to have tons of fun!
