Sign-up information and open mic guidelines
SOTA
Original Open Mics are designed to give performers a supportive and nurturing environment to share their talents. We do
our best to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed and to provide an attentive listening audience. To support
other artists, we ask that everyone stay for the entire evening if possible.
We ask all performers to sign-up between 6:30 and 6:50p.m.
No advance sign-ups
will be taken. At around 6:55, we will draw names of those artists present to determine the order of performance
for the evening. We will start promptly at 7:00p.m and have a total of only 12 slots.
If you are not present when the order is drawn, your name will be placed in the next open slot upon your
arrival until all slots are filled. If all slots are filled and we have extra people wanting to perform, it will
be only as time allows. No advance sign-ups
will be taken. At around 6:55, we will draw names of those artists present to determine the order of performance
for the evening. We will start promptly at 7:00p.m and have a total of only 12 slots.
If you are not present when the order is drawn, your name will be placed in the next open slot upon your
arrival until all slots are filled. If all slots are filled and we have extra people wanting to perform, it will
be only as time allows. Each performer is given 15 minutes to perform with a limit
of 3 songs. There is a $3.00 requested donation
for both artists and audience members to cover the cost of promotion and maintaining equipment. If you are doing a
set and will be inviting another performer/s to join you on a song, they need to be set-up and ready to go at the beginning
of your set to keep things moving.
Any complicated set-ups or processors need to be cleared with our soundman
before we start. He will determine if we can accomodate your set-up and may ask you to set up ahead of time to keep the
night moving along smoothly..
Acoustic set-ups only please.
If you have questions, please
e-mail us or call 847-507-1352 or 262-745-2251 and
leave a message.
