ABOUT OOOM@SAM

Also, there will be guest mentors who will be invited to OOOM@SAM to give constructive feedback to OOOMers serious on improving their craft (maximum of three OOOMers each session; register interest with host of OOOM@SAM half an hour before the session; first come first served).

OOOM@SAM will take place during the last week of each month, typically on a Wed, Thurs or Fri from 7pm-9pm. Registration for OOOM begins at 6:30pm. Participants get to perform two songs. A semi-acoustic guitar and P.A. system will be provided, courtesy of Maestro Guitars. A digital piano will also be made available. Admission is free.
