Tongue & Groove - Nov 12 Open Mic

****No more line up to sign up. We now make the list by lottery draw. Details below.***

Join us for another night of open mic magic at VAE's fabulous gallery in the heart of downtown Raleigh! We welcome singer-songwriters, instrumentalists, balladeers, poets, storytellers, spoken word artists, and more. (Sorry, no comedy).

Covers welcome. Originals encouraged!

Doors open at 6:30. Show starts at 7:30. Main slots are 7 minutes. Shim slots are 4 minutes.

No cover ever. Beer, soda, and soda water available. Donations gratefully accepted.

THE NEW LIST-BY-LOTTERY PROCESS

If you want to perform:

• Drop your name in the hat anytime from 6:30 PM on.
• At 7:15 PM SHARP, we draw names for 15 seven-minute slots.
• If you're present for the drawing, you can choose your slot.
• If not, we will assume you've been waylaid by pirates and fill from the end of the list to give you plenty of time to chew through your bonds or parlay for your freedom.
• Halfway through the show (~8:45PM), we draw 3 more names for our bonus 4-minute shim slots.
