Free for members and performers; $5 general

Two songs or ten minutes is each performer's share of the stage at The Sandbox, the monthly open mic at Fogartyville. Musicians, poets, comedians and performance artists of any age are welcome, originals are encouraged and covers are fine, and sign-up happens at the door. Organizers order the lineup so first-timers get a slot and spoken word or dance can break up a run of singer-songwriters. The center supplies vocal and instrument mics, cables, DI boxes, a keyboard and a guitar amp. Running the night is The Cat Lady, the WSLR 96.5 FM programmer behind The Cat's Meow, and WSLR members are asked to register ahead.
