Welcome to the brand new
LIZARD LOUNGE OPEN MIC CHALLENGE
Lizard
Lounge Website and Details
(Thanks
Eddie!)
Our Format
Every Monday night about 20 acts (local and touring) have 2 songs or 10 minutes
to perform their original music in front of an audience
of peers, music lovers and our weekly celebrity judge.
When all acts have performed there will be a short break.
At the end of our break.... the big announcement... THE THREE FINALISTS!
The 3 finalists will gear up to perform one more song.
From the 3 finalists our judge will pick a winner.
Performers are judged based on these five categories:
Songwriting
Vocal performance
Playing ability
Stage presence
Audience response
Weekly contest winner will receive:
A) Cold hard cash
B) An invitation to perform in the grand finalists' show
@ The Lizard Lounge (Date to be announced.)
Sign up:
(Please read carefully)
Doors open every Monday night at 7:30. If the current
evening's list is full (which it often is) you may sign
up for a future open mic. If there is room on the list
you may sign up. You may sign up for another Monday after you have performed. No
performer may be on the list twice at any time.
Out of towners and touring musicians may sign up by emailing;
tom@24hourtom.com
Please confirm you spot via email the day of the show. If you CAN NOT make you scheduled slot, pleeeeease let me know asap!!!!! tom@24hourtom.com
THE RULES:
There is a $3 cover per performer at the
door. Up to 18 acts per night
Each performance must be limited to three players per
act.
No effects (i.e., amps, pedals, effects, effects, or effects, dogs, cats, flaming bags of anything) are allowed. We provide direct input boxes for guitars
and have mics on hand for instruments without pickups.
No drum kits - only scaled down or hand-held percussion
is allowed.
Performers must check in for their slot, 40 minutes prior
to their scheduled playing time.
Because "playing ability" is a judging criteria,
CD Accompaniment Tracks are not allowed.
Have a great time and enjoy the show! (yes... that's a
rule!)
