___________________________


Whether you’re a seasoned vet, or playing out for the first time, you’re welcome here to show off, shake off the cobwebs, face a fear, or just improve your performing overall! 

Sign ups are at the door, so show up early if you’re worried about missing out!

One house guitar is provided, so if you don’t have a guitar that plugs in, don’t worry! 

We want as many people to get to show their stuff as possible so we’ll go over rules before we begin for the night to keep the performances moving smoothly. 

We’re keeping things simple, so no electric guitars with amps, everything has to plug into a DI box. If you play piano you’re more than welcome to bring yours to play while we work on getting a house keyboard. 

We’re looking forward to seeing players and spectators alike!

RULES:

 * 2 songs or 8 minutes, whichever comes first
 * All ages, be reasonable, cussing is ok, but don’t be gross.
 * Sign up at the door, no public reservations
 * 18 slots
 * Know your place in line, be on deck
 * Be tuned
 * If you re-tune house guitar tune it back for the next person
