Coda presents year-end singer-songwriter performance night Friday

Do you fancy yourself a performer but haven’t actually performed yet? Downtown nightspot Coda may have a spot for you in 2012. Find out at tonight’s singer-songwriter open-mic night. “This is a chance for artists to come let us hear what they have to offer, so we can know how if there’s a spot for them in our showcases and scheduling,” says Clint Hoffmeier, co-owner of Coda. “It will be first-come, first-serve. The turnout [will determine] how long people will get to play, but I am guessing three or four songs per performer. I want to hear what you got and see if there is a place for you at Coda down the road.”

All types of performers are welcome, beginning at 9 p.m. There’s no cover. Also: a perk for registering early — the first five people who sign up get their first drink free.
