Best of The Bay Award Winning Charlie Kaupp's Riptide Open Mic ! The Riptide Wants to Hear Ya Sing! In person! Inside the bar! Open Mic Night returns to The Riptide in person, every Monday night. Sign up in the bar starting at 7pm. Music starts at 8 and goes until 11pm. Rules and format: • You get two songs or 10 minutes, whichever comes first • This is a music-only open mic, so no spoken word, comedy, poetry, dramatic readings, etc (unless you put it to music) • All genres, covers, and originals are accepted and encouraged • Since it's in a bar, it's a 21+ event. Sorry kids! • Sign-ups are first-come, first-served, but you can pick your slot • Come early and have a drink, stick around late and support the other performers • You may bring your own mic and your own instrument if you choose, or RESPECTFULLY use our house mics, guitar, or piano.
