About this Event
Fruit Salad, Dorothy's monthly queer open mic night returns for another month of art & community! Hosted by Rainn and co-produced by Whitney LaMora, this open mic night gives ten performers the chance to share their work in front of our supportive & gorgeous group of attendees before we hand it over to our feature performer of the night.
Our open mic sign up is based on a lottery system! Attendees will get a link immediately after purchasing a ticket to sign up for the open mic until Monday December 12th. Five open mic slots are reserved for BIPOC performers and the other five slots are open for all submissions.
Our open mic list will be announced via our Instagram @fruitsaladchicago on Monday the 12th.
After our open mic for the evening, we welcome our featured for the month - Iana!
lana (they/she) is a queer, Black, nonbinary multidisciplinary artist from Detroit, Michigan currently based in Logan Square. An illustrious and quietly powerful guitarist singer-songwriter with a uniquely saccharine twist to their plaintive melancholy songs about love and heartbreak, her many influences range from various unique flavors and shades of pop, metal, punk, alternative, grunge and r&b. Through solo projects and their most recent band, Grand Rapids, Michigan-based band okaycool, lana brings a fresh, bratty, confessional quality to her guitar-driven music and DIY live shows. Their interests include philosophy, Black queer living and loving, herbalism and traditional healing practices, fiber art, their many friends across the world, and their cat Lola.
Entry is $12 and proceeds are shared with the performers, the production team, our beautiful bar and our giveback partner for this month chosen by Iana:
Grow Greater Englewood is a 501(c)(3) social enterprise that works with residents and developers to create sustainable local food economies, green businesses, and land sovereignty to empower residents to create wellness and wealth.
Doors for the evening open at 6:45pm and our show starts at 7:30pm. Performers should arrive by 7:15pm at the latest and check in with our host to be guaranteed their slot. Our feature follows after intermission.
