Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge

The Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge is a showcase of original acoustic music.

After all acts have performed our guest judge will pick a final three to play one more song. From those three our judge will pick a winner!

For sign up information go to www.24hourtom.com/lizard-lounge-open-mic-monday

Our Judge is focusing on these five categories:

1. Songwriting (All songs must be original to be in the challenge)

2. Vocal performance – (Sing… Sing a soooong! Sing out loooooud… sing out strooong!)

3. Playing ability – (For instrumentals, playing ability counts twice in place of vocal ability)

4. Stage presence – (RAWK! And most importantly, enjoy your set!)5. Audience response – (Yup! Your pals get a vote as well!)

5. Audience Response - (Yup! The crowd has a say as well!)
