That features a featured artist spotlight every show - We are the LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH EVERY MONTH. Suggested donation of $2-$20 dollars. List goes out at 5pm, Open Mic starts . 5 minute sets available, all modalities of expression welcome and encouraged- music, poetry/spoken word , MCees, solos, theater, dance, troupes, groups/bands are welcome! It is our intention to come together to

provide an open space to uplift unseen unheard people groups as valuable, honorable, worthy of all the goodness, beauty, love, and care that all people groups deserve. We have for the last year had a large diverse hip hop crowd from the greater central coast as well as many acoustic guitar players, pianists and singers, in addition to a vibrant poet base all along the pros and newbies spectrum. We aim to bring together pro’s and newbies in a brave safe space, to culture growth in a vibrant fun playful uplifting elevated atmosphere. People finding ways to express through creativity their life experiences, both polished and unpolished, kept and tattered alike, is such a beautiful mosaic- we couldn’t be more honored to provide a stage for those courageous enough to share themselves. We are excited to explore the GLOW UP opportunities of coming into partnership with The 418 Project. Come join us every Last Sunday of the Month at Mic Drop! Follow us on Instagram: .mic.drop.__

TOMORROW is Mic Drop. 🎤✨

Last Sunday energy.
