Performance Policy
The Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge is a showcase of original acoustic music.
After all acts have performed our guest judge will pick a final three to play one more song. From those three our judge will pick a winner!
Our Judge is focusing on these five categories:
1. Songwriting (All songs must be original to be in the challenge)
2. Vocal performance – (Sing… Sing a soooong! Sing out loooooud… sing out strooong!)
3. Playing ability – (For instrumentals, playing ability counts twice in place of vocal ability)
4. Stage presence – (RAWK! And most importantly, enjoy your set!) 5. Audience response – (Yup! Your pals get a vote as well!)
5. Audience Response - (Yup! The crowd has a say as well!)
A few rules of the show:
2 Songs or 10 minutes. Whichever comes first.
If you would like to be in the contest please play originals.
We have 3 vocal mics, 3 instrument mics, 3 di boxes and A PIANO at your service!
No amps. No pedals. No drum kits (percussion/cajon, etc is welcome) , keyboards… etc.
No Backing Tracks, cd's or ipods or loop pedals of any kind (100% live baby!)
Respect the stage on and off. (Give all artists the same respect you would like them to give you)
