It's another First Friday Open Mic @ and we hope to see you there!


and showcase your latest stuff for our studio community — we'd love to hear what you've been working on! We'll have guitars and pianos available so you can travel light, or BYO. Our Junior Engineers will be trying out some test recordings, so you might even walk away with a rough demo you can share!

We hope you'll stop by [the square] on your First Friday art walk, or maybe even stick around for the duration — it's looking like a cold one, so let's get cozy in community together!


Doors open @ 4:30PM

Open mic 5–7PM
