Once a month, Square Cat Vinyl allows 25 residents to perform one original song — no covers. It’s an opportunity for community members of all ages to share their creativity and practice performing in front of an audience.
“The Square Cat open mic is a very special evening of music community, so we ask that you be respectful of the fellow performers and stick around after your performance to support the others,” according to the southside record store’s website.
Sign-ups are first come, first served, and the order of participants will be drawn at random. There can only be three musicians per group and drums are not allowed. Attendees can bring guitars, bass, and keyboards, but other instruments must be approved before signing up.
Artists can only perform every other month.
The next open mic begins at 6 p.m., Monday, Dec. 1, at Square Cat Vinyl, 1054 Virginia Ave. Sign-ups begin at 5:30 p.m.
