🎤 Open Mic Night in Depew/Lancaster! 🎉
*SIGN UP STARTS AT 630!
*3 Songs or 12 minute time slots
*15 performer limit (first come first serve)
Let’s turn your Mondays into something to look forward to! I’ll kick things off with a few of my tunes, then it’s YOUR turn to take the stage. Show up early to sign up, and stick around for the good times! The bar’s got all you need: tons of parking, two pool tables, two dart boards, great food, and a lineup of drinks to wash down those Monday blues. 🍻
Here’s the deal:
I’ll take care of the sound setup (within reason—this isn’t a rock opera 😅).
Bring your own instruments, cables, picks, strings, etc. if you have backing tracks- provide your own cable. I might have backups, but don’t rely on me to save the day. I’m more of a sound guy, less of a guitar shop. 🎸
Solo and duo performers are preferred. Full bands are awesome, but for the sake of quick changeovers and good vibes, let’s keep it simple unless we plan something big in advance. 🤘
Quick changeovers = smoother nights for everyone. Plug in, rock out, and keep the energy flowing! 🏃‍♂️
Share the event and bring your crew! The bigger the turnout, the higher the chance we can do special events and pull off some epic performances in the future. 🎊

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
I’ve got the sound gear covered (but please, don’t expect a stadium setup).
Please, BYOI (Bring Your Own Instrument). Also, pack those essentials like cables, picks, and strings. I might have extras if things go sideways, but don’t bank on it. 😜
Want to go full band? Let’s chat first. We might do some big nights with full backlines, but for regular open mics, let’s keep it manageable. 🥁🎸
Be ready to hop on and off the stage quickly—smooth transitions make the night better for everyone! 🫡

The Vibe:
Be cool, be respectful, and let’s have a blast! 🎉
Play with confidence and heart—this is your moment to shine! Whether you’re a pro or it's your first time, this is the place to express yourself. 🎶
Support your fellow artists! It takes guts to get up there, so give them the love they deserve! 👏

One Big Rule: Don’t Be a Jerk. All genres are welcome, but if you’re spreading hate, being crude, or diving too deep into politics, the mic will get cut—faster than you can say “Free Bird.” But don’t worry, you would never be THAT person who heckles the artist 😎I know you’re cool because you made it this far down this unnecessarily long description. Go you! 🎉
