Hosted on the fourth Friday of (almost) every month, Open Air Open Mics bring together a supportive community of those who love music, the spoken word, clean(!) comedy, and creative arts.
(Weather-permitting, we'll be out on the patio, but if it's rainy, windy, or cold, the show must go on—but we'll move inside, because while the show must go on, we don't have to be cold while it's happening.)
This is a time when imperfect people can come together and encourage one another to step out and share something new, to be vulnerable enough to be ourselves, to take a risk, and discover we are appreciated just as we are. Whether you have something you want to share or if you want to cheer on others who do, we want you here!
Read on for what to expect if you’re coming to support a performer, and below that, what to expect if you’re performing.
The headline is: let's have fun meeting new people and supporting the local creative arts scene.
* I'm coming to cheer on the performers! What do I need to know?*
* There’s no cover charge, but if you can bring some canned goods, we’d love that! We’re running a non-perishable food drive for West Valley Community Services. We'll post the most needed canned goods, but any kind is appreciated.
* Bring a lawn chair and a blanket and/or jacket. You know how temps start dropping at night...
* I'm coming to perform! What do I need to know?*
* Slots are 5-10 minutes, depending on how many performers we have. Time slot includes your set-up time
* Sign up with the form at wvneighborhoodchurch.org/openmic ahead of time to get a slot, or come at 6:45pm the night-of!
* Bring your instrument (unless you’re playing keys—we’ll provide a house keyboard: a Roland Juno-DS 88)
* If you're a vocalist that wants live accompaniment, head over wvneighborhoodchurch.org/openmic and let us know what song you want to do. The more notice you give us, the better chances are we can accompany you live. Tracks are okay too, but live is fun, right?
* We’ll have two mics, a 1/4 inch connection for your instrument, and two music stands
* Keep it family-friendly! If PG-10 were a rating, that’s what we’d be going for
Can't wait to see (and hear!) you there!
