First-timer questions
Nervous is normal. Here's everything you're wondering.
What if it's my first time performing?
Absolutely welcome! Our open mics are built for debuts. First-timers even get priority slots, and the crowd loves cheering a first performance.
What equipment do you provide?
Microphones, full PA system, stage lighting and a guitar amplifier. Bring your own instruments and backing tracks (on a phone or USB) if you need them.
What if I get too nervous?
Totally normal. Our hosts warm up the room, walk you through the flow, and the audience is famously kind to nervous performers. You have got this.
Can I perform more than once?
If time and slots allow, yes! First-time performers get first pick, then we open the floor to repeat sets.
Can I bring friends and family?
Please do! A cheering section makes it even better. Just share the venue and timing with them.
Is there an age limit?
Open to all ages. We love young talent — minors just need parental consent and are best accompanied by an adult.
