The Music Box of Rockford is happy to announce the beginning of its Karaoke Open Mic Nights hosted by Riley Sanders of Redwood Band. We will have a house guitar and cajon available for anyone to play and the following information explains the whole event! Run time is 7:00 to 10:00 PM.
Sign-up starts at 6:30 PM, first come first serve.
Karaoke and open mic alternate in blocks all night.
Open mic runs 10 minutes, karaoke runs 20 minutes, back and forth, until there are no more singers or open mic players.
A live timer on stage keeps everyone to their time.
Please be respectful of all other players and singers.
- Open mic slots
We hold 6 open mic slots each event.
Three slots open early for online sign-up, so you can plan your set ahead of time.
Three slots are saved for in-person sign-up on the night.
Come down, put your name in, and grab one at the door.
This keeps it fair for everyone. Regulars can lock in a spot in advance, and anyone who shows up still has a real shot at the stage.
- Playing rules
Solo or duet performances only.
10 minutes or 2 songs, whichever comes first.
Your setup time counts. If you take 3 minutes to setup a pedalboard, that is 3 of your 10 minutes.
A guitar and cajón are provided and on stage for anyone to use.
Original songs are encouraged, but all music is welcome.
No comedy sets. This is a music night.
-For the karaoke crowd
You have your own rolling list all night, so you only ever wait 10 minutes on an open mic slot to sing.
Karaoke blocks run 20 minutes at a time, trading off with the open mic.
Whether you play or you sing, there is room for you here! Come out and kick off The Music Box of Rockford first Karaoke / Open Mic Night October 6th from 7-10PM.
Keep in mind, things may be subject to slight changes depending on the makeup of the available players and singers in the room. We will be polishing the evening to ensure everyone feels accounted for over. If there is something you think could make the event better, please don't hesitate to mention it to Riley.
