Provided equipment includes...
- Sound system
- 2 house microphones (must use house mics for quick transitions, disinfecting wipes will be available ;)
- 2 Guitar/keys input (please bing your own guitar/keys)
It's an "acoustic open mic", so electric guitar amps/keyboard amps/drum sets and the like will not be permitted. (we do have a house cajon for you to use)
Performing...
1. Performers will get the opportunity to play two songs, or for 10 minutes, which ever comes first.
2. Original music is encouraged, but you can add your flair to some covers, we don't mind ;)
Listening and enjoying...
1. The night is about music and the stage, please keep your talking down, and if you really want to have a conversation, please take it to another room. It's hard to get on stage for many people. In support for all artists who are giving us a special glimpse into their art form, we ask that there's no talking during performances. If a whisper needs to happen, no worries, but please give the artists your full attention. Unlike hearing a musician play in a restaurant, where they are the background ambiance to your evening, we've flipped it so that they are the focus.
2. Please share the love with the venue, and say thank you to them for giving us a great space to meet by purchasing their great food and drink during the night.
Help us pack the place out and purchase food and drink while at the event. This helps our 3 restaurant partner venues know that we are supporting them as they provide an amazing atmosphere and service to us!
See you there!
