Mar 8 2020, Arbutus Open Mic, 7pm signup sheet

We are taking the Arbutus Open Mic online! We will be hosting a zoom event, open to the public. We are asking performers to sign up IN ADVANCE so we can run the event more smoothly for our first time. As always, performances are limited to 10 minutes or 2 songs, whichever is shorter (including set-up time). Open genre, all ages, any acoustic instrument. Let's see how this goes!
For current zoom link, go to https://arbutusfolkschool.org/arbutus-open-mic-night/ or watch our Facebook events
