What on Earth is the Starfruit Lounge?

Every month, we gather musicians to play together at a private address. The event is a combination of an open mic, open jam, music showcase, potluck, and karaoke party. Hosted outdoors if weather permits. Entry is free; however, contribution is strongly encouraged, whether through food, drink, or donation — or if you have something unique to contribute, email indigostarbeam@gmail.com

Act I: OPEN MIC & OPEN JAM

Anyone is welcome to play an instrument on stage. Everyone can take a turn to lead the music– an instrumentalist can lead an improvised jam, or a songwriter can lead and experiment with musicians who are playing their song for the first time!

Act II: Music Showcase

Each event will have 3 full bands showcased. There may or may not be a cohesive theme of genre

Intermission: Live DJ

Some of our events will feature our resident DJ Berry Suite in between the showcase and the karaoke party

Act III: Karaoke Party!

We will move the party indoors after 10pm to host karaoke until everybody is satisfied. This is my favorite part of the evening, personally. It’s a great way to really show them what you’re made of.

There is no early sign up for karaoke; the list will open at 10.

Our Goals

This event is intended to bring together independent Austin artists from various circles. Songwriters, instrumentalists, poets, producers, craftspeople, chefs, etc. are all welcome!

Why should I Come?

If you are a songwriter brave enough to let musicians improvise to your tune, this event is perfect for you—maybe you’ll even find some bandmates while you’re here!

Or maybe you have your own community event to plug. That’s cool too.

Perhaps you just have a message that really needs to be shared. Share it at the Starfruit Lounge!

Rules

There are 3 indoor-only cats. Do not leave the house doors open.

LGBTQ+ friendly. No unaccompanied minors. No infants or pets without host approval. No haters.

Please contribute to the potluck! Hosting community events is unfortunately not free.

Miscellaneous

We are open to incorporating all different types of creative energies into these events. If you have something you’d like to coordinate with us, email indigostarbeam@gmail.com

Since the event is held at a private residence, the address is not posted publicly. You can find it by contacting Indigo Starbeam or by asking someone who has already been.
