Are you a music lover? Do you sing or play an instrument?
We invite you to join us for a fun night of conversation and songs, open mic style! Relax at home as you listen or perform in this supportive environment. We’ll be taking turns performing one song each to create a unique soundtrack for the night. Whether you’ve been playing an instrument for years, are just learning, like to sing a cappella, or simply want to listen to the performances, we welcome you to join us!
We have two open mic night sessions coming up. Click on the links below for more information:
Open Mic Night on Thursday, May 4 @ 5:30pm EDT
