PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU SIGN UP TO PERFORM:
Clarion’s Music Open Mic and Talent Show entertains a specific audience that enjoys pop and classical songs and music, a little humor, and dances like hula and jazz. While we welcome artists of other genres, the host has the authority to “gong” down any inappropriate act for the audience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.The event will be live-streamed on our YouTube Channel.
Bring your music and put on your dancing shoes! It's time to share your talents with a group of friends!
Free for everyone! Let's have fun!
No-judgement, supportive environment, but keep it family-friendly.Check out highlights of previous Open Mics:

Royal passed away in October 2024.
THE ASSIGNMENT is the brand-new release of Royal’s unpublished lyrics read by 6 poets and surrounded by Wendy’s piano pieces.
“The Assignment” were the last words Royal spoke on this Earth.As an interesting coincidence, June 14th is POTUS's un-birthday.
Does that elicit any poetics???Ticket prices include all of the above plus a copy of THE ASSIGNMENT CD.
