Next performance

Looking For a New Home

After Marcus’ Martini Heaven closed its doors, I spent some time trying to find a suitable location to move the event to, and wasn’t able to get that done right away. So Lone Microphone is on hiatus until I can find the right place — interested venues or folks with good ideas for a place can send me an email.

Host: Ben Bruce

The premise

The Lone Microphone is an event series that brings together audiences that appreciate intimate and emotional performances with high-caliber solo performers.

The rules

  • Listen to the music.

    When I lived in Austin, I was struck by the fact that in music venues, the seats all face the stage. Those people listen. And it's important that you be able to cast an informed vote! (See below). If you can, please stay for the whole event. That's part of the fun!

  • Support the performers.

    We ask for donations of $5. If you can't pay $5 tonight, pay $3, or $2. If the choice is between donating or buying a beer, buy the beer! Next time.

  • Vote for your favorite set.

    You vote by signing up for an artists E-mail list. Sign up for more than one list, but please don't fill out more than one ballot. At the end of the night we'll count the votes and the winner takes the door money.
