I Love Lyrics (ILL) Showcase

A five-minute stage performance could result in $100 in your pocket. That's thanks to the reinstated monthly I Love Lyrics (ILL) Showcase at Howlers. Interested parties can compete in a hip-hop and R&B open mic where the winner leaves with cash in hand. Signups begin at 7:30 p.m. and close promptly at 8:30 p.m., no exceptions! So make sure to show up early if you’d like to participate. The panel of judges, which changes monthly, will rate performances based on delivery, stage presence, and lyrics. Performers in this event will be eligible to compete in the December showcase, where the cash prize is $500.
