The Friendly Mic: Holiday Edition

Wednesday, December 4 • Sign-Up at 7PM • Show at 8PM
Two Best Friends Café & Books

Two Best Friends Café & Books is closing out the year with a muddy, musical, magical night. Our cozy queer-friendly open mic is transforming into a featured holiday show — and you’re invited.

This month, we’re celebrating A Very Muddy Holiday, headlined by GRAMMY award-winning artist MERKELL(@itsmerkell). He’ll be performing live with a full band, bringing songs from his acclaimed MUD EP trilogy to our Friendly Mic stage.

And because we love a good pairing?
Your favorite host — comedian Rickisa Owens — is stepping out to perform a full comedy set and co-host the night with Merkell himself.

After the featured show, the mic opens back up exclusively for singers, rappers, and musicians to perform with The Rec Band. This is your chance to vibe with a live-band, improvise, or perform your favorite cover!

Let the holiday spirit get a little… muddy.
