An open mic for all ages and all genres. Poetry, spoken word, storytelling, comedy, readings, performance art, monologues, music, soapbox rants, magic tricks—if it fits on a mic, it fits here.

Sign-ups begin at 6:30 PM, in person. Come to share work, test ideas, or just listen. Stay for the whole night and support the room—it makes the night better for everyone.

Know Rulz is the live-looping solo project of Cincinnati musician James Ruehlman, crafting expansive psychedelic soundscapes from the ground up. Using a looper pedal, Ruehlman layers driving drum grooves, atmospheric synth pads, and expressive guitar work into fully realized performances—all created live on stage.

Known for blending hypnotic rhythms with soaring, emotive solos, Know Rulz delivers a dynamic, immersive experience that feels both intimate and otherworldly. A consistent presence in the Cincinnati music scene, Ruehlman performs regularly throughout the city while also touring the Midwest as a member of Multimagic.
