Description

 

Red Bird's Weekly Open Stage is BACK!!

 

Here is what's continuing:

  • Awesome Hosts
  • Dedicated Sound Tech
  • Attentive and Supportive Audience
  • sign up/put your name in the hat between 7pm and 7:45pm
  • two songs, up to 10 minutes of stage time per performer
  • 4/16 spots reserved for newcomers
  • Theme Nights on the last Tuesday of each month

 

Here is what's new:

  • Red Bird Pick: one artist will be selected each night to perform a third song at the end of the evening
  • No Shows: if your name is called, and you are not around to play we will draw from the hat for your replacement 
  • Two Draws: we will do one draw at 8pm to see who plays in the first half of the evening, then a second draw at 9pm to see who plays in the second half
  • Prizes: anyone who attends a Tuesday Open Stage will have the opportunity to enter their name in a draw to win prizes such as Red Bird Merch, concert and event tickets and Red Bird Gift Cards. The more you attend, the greater your chance of winning.
  • One Stage Appearance Per Tuesday: artists may only play on stage only once in an evening (whether accompanying or as the featured performer)
  • Maximum of 3 performers per act
  • Recording of Your Set: We will record the entire evening. You can now purchase the recording of your 2-song set for $15. 
  • Cover: there is now a $5 cover (payable at the door only) for everyone attending Open Stage (whether you are performing or not).
