Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Inga Chernogradskaia

NOTE: For the Poets we have a separate Open Mic every 3rd Saturday 1-3pm (RSVP to 3rd Saturday Poetry in Chinatown).

 

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU SIGN UP TO PERFORM:

Clarion’s Music Open Mic and Talent Show entertains a specific audience that enjoys pop and classical songs and music, a little humor, and dances like hula and jazz. While we welcome artists of other genres, the host has the authority to “gong” down any inappropriate act for the audience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The event will be live-streamed on our YouTube Channel.

Bring your music and put on your dancing shoes!  It’s time to share your talents with a group of friends!

Free for everyone! Let’s have fun! 

No-judgement, supportive environment, but keep it family-friendly.
