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!

L@L hosted by Dan Cohen.

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.

✔ A: Performances are limited to trios.
Q: Is there a drum set?
✔ A: No, please bring your own handheld percussion. Cajons are perfect.
