The Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge

About Me


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;
[email protected]
Please confirm you spot via email the day of the show. If you CAN NOT make you scheduled slot, pleeeeease let me know asap!!!!! [email protected]
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!)
All the myspace profiles here on the front page are a combination of people who help run the show, past celebrite judges and winners of the Open Mic Challenge! Stop by and say hey to them!
