A long-standing tradition resides in the Vine Neighborhood. Those who frequent the house show scene may be familiar. The Fireplace Club (an infrequently used though highly-revered house venue space) has hosted a Valentine’s Day Love Song Open Mic for 4 years. This event invites anyone in the community to share songs about love (the positive or negative aspects thereof), either originals or covers, with their friends in a warm, comfortable living room/dining room environment.

This lovely fellow could be you!

This event is great for the single, the coupled, and the anywhere-in-between. This event is a great way to see local artists and friends perform songs they probably otherwise would not get an opportunity to – and perhaps even get people who rarely perform up to the challenge!
