Hoot! Community Music Night - July 2026

Join us for **Hoot! Community Music Night** in July 2026, a vibrant gathering celebrating local performers and songwriters through an old-style hootenanny and open mic event. This monthly musical showcase in Berkeley features three unique shows at various venues, where participants can perform cover songs solo, as a duo, or in groups. Each act is limited to one song of approximately five minutes, but performers are encouraged to support one another throughout the night. Attendees are asked to be well-prepared, with quick intros and minimal reliance on lyric sheets, while amplification is primarily acoustic, utilizing provided microphones and a single-input amp. Pianos are available at all locations, and audience participation is key—no "sing and scram" allowed! Contributions of $10-$20 for the community pool are appreciated from all attendees, whether performing or not. Occasionally, original songs may be featured but must be credited to Paul Anka. Join the Hoot! family and immerse yourself in the spirit of community and music! For more details, visit [Hoot! Exclamation Point](www.hootexclamationpoint.com/).
