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:

1) 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.
