On an average music night there are two musical sets, 8:30pm-10pm, and then 10:30pm-12am. Sometimes we start earlier, depending on how early people arrive and the overall vibe. The most busy music nights are packed with musicians jamming everywhere, and sometimes we have quiet music nights that have a more singer-songwriter type of vibe.

YES! Our philosophy is that "everybody's in the band"! As long as you treat our instruments with respect and love, everyone is welcome to musically contribute. It's cool if you want to strum along in the background, or if you want to try the mic. You can ask us for tuners and guitar picks.

Yes, absolutely! We love it when people share their musical talent on their home instruments. We enjoy meeting new guitars and hearing new voices. If your instrument has a large bag, we kindly ask to store clunky gear backstage in our staff zone.

It all depends on the weather! Our outdoor patio season really kicks into gear once the temperatures heat up in June/July. Mosquitoes will also help decide where we sing. We follow the vibe! Generally, if there is no major threat of rain, the mosquitoes aren't too wild, and the temperature is around 15-18 degrees C, yes, that's the best time to sing at a campfire!
