Carly's desire is to showcase up-and-coming cabaret singers, alongside well seasoned entertainers, and people who just want to hone their craft with performing experience. This is the place to try out that new song, invite some friends and family to watch you perform, and work with professional musicians. There are eight different genres and there will be six - ten vocalists each night. Ozard will present vocal evenings Mondays thru Wednesdays for the month of June. Monday and Tuesday nights begin at 7:30pm and the cover charge is $10.00. Wednesday open mics begin at 8:00 pm and are free, with tipping graciously accepted. This is an inexpensive way to spend a night out, and support local artists who need to be seen and heard and who love to perform. Carly was a frequent host of Open-mic at the Octavia Lounge and is a cabaret performer who hails from a musical theatre background.
