Doors Open for this event at 3:00p we do a quick Sound Check - then we dim the lights and set the Mood with A Quiet Listening Room Atmosphere. At 3:30p the show begins with our Featured Artists, performing in the Round. Our songwriters will share their music and provide the audience with insight into their creative process, as well as what inspires their music and songwriting.
At Around 5:00PM we break for Intermission and dig into our Discussion Topic of the Day.
Attendees may also use this time to take in the artwork in the "Harold Stevens Art Gallery" or Shop the selections in the ReBop Record Shop.
