PARTICIPATE

Step up to the spotlight and sing, dance or play with a top live band! Richard Michael (piano) and friends welcome aspiring performers to the stage at Spin.  

For lovers of spoken word, poetry, hip-hop and R&B, check out Rhyme Lounge Sessions hosted by local collective Hours. A specially curated session band will be on hand to lay down some grooves. The rhymes will soon flow.
