The Norwegian

Welcome to our Wednesday night Open Stage for musicians & poets.  Open Stage is free and open to anyone to attend and/or perform.  IMPORTANT: this is a quiet event made for artists to have a listening crowd as they try out new and old material in front of an audience. We will place a sign up sheet on our piano at 5:30 pm.  If you'd like to perform, you will enter your name in a 10 minute time slot between 6 and 8 pm.  Available to use is our house PA system, microphones, guitar, and house piano; a sound person will be on-site. Open Stage runs until 8 pm, followed by a featured performer from 8 to 8:45.  This week will be Lincoln Flowers a stunning writer w/ strong, vulnerable vocals, and guitar motifs that you'll be humming for days. The bar will call "last call," and we'll close the event.  The kitchen will be CLOSED for open stage, but the bar will be open from 5:30 to 9 pm. We encourage you to stay for the duration of the event to cheer on all artists.
