An evening of Broadway standards at the piano with Tommy Dodson — the kind of show where you can settle in with a cocktail, soak in the music, and sing along if the mood strikes. Seating begins at 6:30pm, show at 7pm. $10 tickets.

Monday nights at The Roost are for people who've got something to say — whether that's a poem that's been rattling around in your head, a story you need to tell, or just a song you want to share with people who actually listen. It's the kind of low-pressure, high-support room where new voices feel welcome and regulars keep coming back, free every week. You'll find writers, performers, and curious folks who show up to be part of something real — the kind of chosen family vibe that happens when people actually pay attention to each other.

Tuesday nights at The Roost are for the people who actually want to sing — no judgment, just a room full of folks cheering each other on. Whether you're belting out your anthem or just there for the chaos and community, this is the kind of low-pressure fun that keeps people coming back. Free entry means you can roll in straight from work, grab a cocktail, and lose yourself in a few songs with your chosen family. It's the weekly reset that Cathedral City's queer scene actually needs.

Lesbian singer and Voice Season 19 finalist Marisa Corvo brings her powerful voice to The Roost for an intimate evening of live music. From her early days as a classical pianist to her appearances on American Idol and The Voice, Marisa's journey is as compelling as her performances. Seating begins at 6:30pm with the show starting at 7pm.

Christmas in July gets the full treatment at The Roost — a three-course dinner from Trilussa, a wreath and basket auction, and a headlining performance from Keisha D that brings genuine holiday magic to a summer evening. The whole night benefits The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, so you're celebrating and giving back at the same time. Doors open at 5pm; the show starts at 7pm.

Monday nights at The Roost belong to anyone with a song in their heart and Joel Baker at the keys. Signups start at 6pm, singing runs 6:30pm to 9pm — whether you're belting out Broadway, your guilty pleasure pop anthem, or just here to cheer on friends, it's the kind of low-pressure, genuinely fun night that keeps people coming back. Free, and exactly what a neighborhood lounge should do well.
