Open Mic Nights
Every Sunday from 7p - 9p
We are looking to bring artists together, the goal of this night is to explore music and ourselves together as a community. We are hoping it takes its own path and turns into an ever-changing platform for art, visual or otherwise. For now we are looking to host a classic open mic focused on music and short form poetry.
Hosted primarily by Adam of Earth to Clark, he was the host for Open Mic Nights back when 5BAR was the BOP (Beloit history for ya).
Bring your own instrument, we will have 3 mics, a small drum set, keyboard (actually looking for a donation please), and 1 community acoustic guitar. Must be 21+ to watch, if you are under 21 years old and want to perform contact us and let’s see about arranging something (legally, its a few steps for us).
Please email if you have any questions. Send us links to your content if you perform too =]
There’s a paper sign up sheet, arrive 15min early if you want a spot. We have our own PA with a few inputs: XLR, 1/4”, 1/8”, iPhone adaptor
Getting tuned up. You can tell it was a cold winter day by the ski-suite
