John MacLean

Thursday, December 18, 2008 - 8:00pm

Each week we invite a national, regional or local touring artist to perform a "feature" set. This allows you to enjoy some fine music in an intimate listening environment. The feature artist will play a 45-minute to one hour set, usually starting at 9:00 PM. Before and after the feature artist, we open up the Rose Room stage to anyone who wishes to play a 15 to 20 minute set.

During the feature set we "pass the hat" to help to support the artist. All performers, featured or otherwise, are encouraged to have CD's and cassettes available for purchase, performance calendars, bumper stickers, t-shirts and mailing list signup sheets.

We believe in shameless self-promotion! Open mic performers are also encouraged to have CD's and cassettes available for purchase, performance calendars and mailing list signup sheets.
