jazz & blues spotlight
Our event built entirely around musicians.
Stay tuned for the next edition
What is this?
Hosted by Alexander, a passionate jazz musician and charismatic host, this open mic event is designed to create a safe and supportive space for emerging talent to shine.
You can sign up as a musician, as a small band, or as a solo singer, and perform a song on stage, either accompanied by other instruments or with your own backing track. Beginners are very welcome!
The goal of this event is to create a community of musicians, and to give everyone a chance to show off, experiment, and perform in front of a loving audience.
You’re not a performer? Please join us anyways! By attending "Jazz & Blues Spotlight," you not only support the emerging artists but also contribute to a greater cause. All proceeds from the event will go towards The Cauldron production company's upcoming show, "She Kills Monsters."
How does it work?
Everyone (audience and performers) will need to buy a ticket to the event. This is so we can cover the costs involved in organizing such an evening.
Everyone that signs up to perform as a musician, or a band, or a singer, will have enough time to do one or two songs.
Both singers without musicians and musicians without singers are welcome to perform. Please let us know if you’ll be providing a backing track or karaoke link.
Broadway musical songs are welcome, as long as they are in the blues and jazz style.
Once you’ve bought your ticket, we’ll send an email with more information, and a form you can fill with all the details on which song you want to perform and which instrument you play (if applicable).
FAQs
-
It’s not primarily a karaoke night, as the main focus should be around performances involving musicians. But karaoke singers are welcome, and we have support for playing backing track. There won’t be a beamer to project the lyrics like at our Broadway Karaoke, but we’ll provide a screen where you will be able to read the lyrics.
-
We provide a digital piano, a fender amp (twin reverb), 4 microphones (with speakers). You should bring your own instruments if they are not in this list. Please inform us in advance if you have any specific equipment needs.

Yes, there is space for three or four people to work together. Keep in mind that everyone still needs to buy a ticket individually.
