This year only our performers and their personal guests will gather in Stage Left Cafe. To help keep everyone safe despite rising COVID cases in McHenry County, we invite everyone else to join in remotely via Zoom.

The celebration begins at 8:00 pm, so grab some pizza and champagne, and sign up to celebrate the New Year with your Off Square Music friends via Zoom!

Pre-registration is required! Please click below to register. You will then receive an email with the link to join the event.

If you know someone whom you think would like to join in on the fun, ask them to sign up for our emails with the email sign-up form in the right sidebar of our website (offsquaremusic.org).

Performers are limited to two songs or ten minutes. We will serve pizza to performers and their personal guests at Stage Left around 8:30 pm. We will share a champagne toast at midnight when Small Potatoes will take us into the new year. Would you like to perform? See the instructions below.

If you haven’t already, please visit this page (or click on the button below) to complete a one-time informational form. Once you provide your information you can sign up to perform in any of our venues from that same page.

If you perform only at our Zoom Open Mics, we’d still love to know a little about you. See the new Performers section of our website. These performer bios are all from those who have submitted their forms. We'd like to see you there too!

And we’d like to point you to our Setup Guidelines for Virtual Open Mic Performers.
