Announcing a change in the Bar4 Tuesday Night open mic
You’ve talked and we’ve listened. The open mic sign up and start time is changing next week!
One of the coolest things about Bar4 is how you can pick what spot you want to play. As the open mic has grown, we’ve done everything possible to keep this feature. We’re at the point now where we must have a drawing at the beginning to accommodate everyone, but we’re going to keep letting you pick your spots based on the drawing. We also plan to eliminate the pre-list and just stick to one sign up as many of you have requested. In addition, we’ll be starting earlier and reserving a small number of spots for people that are playing a show at Bar4 during the coming week. As we have in the past, we will continue to strive to be a supportive community with a great open mic, where everyone has an equal chance to play in their preferred spot, and no one is shown favoritism. Thank you all so much for making this open mic so amazing.
Please read all the details below:
Tuesday Night Open Mic at Bar4
When is Sign Up?
6:30pm drawing
6:30pm – 7:30pm sign up
What is the drawing for?
At promptly 6:30pm we will ask everyone in the bar to draw a number. You will be called up in sequential order starting with number 1 and allowed to pick the open spot you would like to play. We do this to give everyone a fair shot at playing when they’d like to during the evening. If you get #1 in the drawing, you might choose to play sixteenth. It’s up to you.
What if I miss the drawing?
After the 6:30pm drawing, you may choose from the remaining open spots on the sign-up list, on a first-come first-serve basis.
What if I’m playing a show at Bar4?
Spots 5, 10, and 15 will be reserved each week for people that are playing at Bar4 in the coming week on a first-come first-serve basis. If you would like one of these spots, please ask the sound person if one is available when your number is called in the drawing. We cannot reserve these spaces ahead of time. It is a courtesy for our community members that would like to promote their upcoming shows.
When does the music start?
Open Mic begins at 7:30pm sharp.
What is “late night”?
“Late night” at the open mic is anything after 2am. It can be a great time to play and a lot of well-known local artists have a tendency to drop in unexpectedly. If you are playing during the “Late night” portion of the open mic, ask the bartender for a drink ticket good for a free Bar4 Lager or a free well drink. This is little thanks from us to you for making the late night portion of the evening so much fun.
How do I book a show?
Send all booking inquiries to bookingbar4@gmail.com. You must include a link to a website where we can hear your music online. We prefer MySpace but also accept ReverbNation, FaceBook, iLike, Last.fm, PureVolume, Sonicbids, and personal websites.
