    Treetown Pub Sing

    More

    318 S Main St, Ann Arbor

    Ann Arbor’s monthly pub sing! Conor O’Neill’s, 7-9pm.

    🎶How does a Pub Sing work?🎶

    We meet in the Celtic Room at Conor O’Neill’s. This event is free, but please support Conor O’Neill’s as they kindly are not charging us for the space.

    This is a participation event, not a concert, and the only instruments we bring are our voices. Our Pub Sing hosts will lead the first song, then open the floor to any guests with a song to share. We have a microphone available if you wish to use it.

    Instead of printing lyric sheets, we recommend choosing a song with a chorus and/or repeating lines where the rest of the room can easily join in. Shanties, ballads and folk songs work well for this, and we also welcome original tunes and non-English language songs with similar repeating elements.

    There is no sign-up sheet, and once everyone has led a song who wishes to, you may lead additional songs as time allows. There is no obligation to share a song! Sing along to your comfort level or simply listen and enjoy a cozy evening of good food and company.

    In the rare event of a cancellation, we will alert attendees via email and by posting on our Facebook page.

    Contact: [email protected]. Send a message if you’d like to join our email list!
