Late At the Lake V2
What is Late at the Lake?
Poets, musicians, & singers gather for one night at Austin's most beautiful outdoor venue. Every Tuesday night.
Late at the Lake is Austin's weekday beacon for professional local & touring musicians down to avid enthusiasts with a song or word to share.
Anywhere from 35-40 of Austin's finest singer-songwriters, poets, and professional musicians make their way to our deck to mutually encourage and inspire one another, and the rest of us!
Open Mic Rules:
- Sign-ups open at 7:30 p.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. There are different sign-up sheets depending on your act (original songs, cover songs, and poetry). Performers debuting an original song get priority, followed by original music that isn't a debut, then poems and covers.
- The show officially starts at 8 pm and closes at 11 pm, no matter where we are in the sign-ups.
- One poem or song per artist, with a 5-6 minute time limit for every kind of performance. A light will be flashed gently when you are nearing your time limit.
- Participants must be 16 and older.
- When in doubt, don't assume the hosts have what you need for your performance.
- Performers may not use backing tracks.
FAQ's:
✔ A: Not unless you get lucky with a friend who is also there. Do not assume there is a communal guitar. Bring your own guitars, and if you are picky about your microphone, bring that also.
✔ A: Performances are limited to trios.
✔ A: No, please bring your own handheld percussion. Cajons are perfect.
