About Band Open Mic

Otto's Shrunken Head hosts a live band open mic where singers can front a full backing band instead of playing solo. Bring a cover or original song and sign up to perform with drums, bass, and guitar.

At Otto's Shrunken Head

Tiki kitsch dialed up to eleven. Otto’s is that classic place where you can sip a flaming drink from a ceramic skull while a ska band thrashes in the back. Neon palm trees, bamboo-covered walls, and a cocktail menu that doesn’t hold back on the rum. You’ll leave wondering if that was just another night out or a fever dream fueled by mai tais and surf rock.
