We have 3 nights of opportunities to play at Cafe Artichoke:
Thursday Open Mics No booking arrangement is necessary for Thursday night. 1st, 3rd (and 5th) Thursdays of each month find Matt Meighan hosting our Songwriter Roundup open mic for artists with original music. On the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month, Illinois Doug Tracy leads our Acoustic Village open mic which is guided by a theme. Thursday shows starts at 7pm and doors open at 6:30 for those who want to put their name in the hat for a chance to play.
Friday Night Coffeehouse
Friday nights feature half-hour showcases for four artists. You can see the types of music we’re scheduling on Fridays here. These showcases are booked several months in advance. While there’s no reimbursement for your performance, this is a great opportunity to share your art with an attentive, listening audience of up to 60 people. You can use the form below to submit a booking request. Be sure to choose Friday from the drop-down menu on the Which Event – Choose a Night field.
