Open Mic

An old-fashioned sing-along party where Desert Hot Things—the Roost's live house band—plays hits from the 60s, 70s, and Broadway while you pick songs from a list and sing along. Seating starts at 6:30pm, show at 7pm. $20.

Monday nights at The Roost belong to anyone with a song in their heart and Joel Baker on piano to back them up. Signups start at 6pm, singing runs 6:30pm to 9pm — whether you're belting out a Broadway number, a pop classic, or something deeply personal, the room's got your back. Free, welcoming, and reliably fun.

Tuesday nights at The Roost belong to anyone who wants to sing — Sean Boyles runs the show, the crowd is welcoming, and the song list is deep enough that you'll find something. Free, starting at 6pm, no pressure to perform but plenty of reason to stick around if you do.

Ada Vox is bringing her powerhouse voice and story to The Roost — the San Antonio singer who made history as the first drag artist to reach the American Idol top 8, earning praise from Lionel Richie and Yolanda Adams along the way. Expect an evening of live vocals, the songs that got her there, and the kind of performance that's taken her from Idol to America's Got Talent to stages around the world. Seating at 6:30pm, show at 7pm. Tickets $30–$45.

Broadway goes delightfully sideways when tenors tackle soprano showstoppers and sopranos own the male leads. This second edition of Broadway at the Roost features local talent—Bryan Burch, Jason Ayestas, Sonia Reavis, Nathan Wilson, and a special appearance by Barbara Kerr—flipping the script on beloved standards with Julie Adams conducting. It's the kind of theatrical fun that reminds you why Broadway songs work no matter who's singing them. $20, seating at 6:30pm, show at 7pm.

Monday nights belong to anyone who wants to sing — Joel Baker on piano, a room full of people who actually want to hear you, and three hours of pure karaoke energy without the pretense. Signups start at 6pm, singing runs 6:30pm to 9pm, and it's free. Show up ready to have fun.
