Can one play electric guitar and as a duo or is a one man acoustic thing only?
The usual set up at TJs for open mic night is two vocal mics and two leads into the PA for guitars or whatever else. Duos are OK, and there's been trios before.
Sets are 15 minutes or three songs. whichever comes first. If the night is not too heavily subscribed or they're running ahead of time then you may get a bit more time.
You don't HAVE to play the full 15 minutes. Some people just play one song and sit down again. That's OK.
Electrics are problematic. TJs don't provide back line amps, the PA in use for open mic nights is a small one and easily overwhelmed by an electric, and shuffling them on and off of the playing area can take up time that they don't have when the night is heavily subscribed. So be prepared to just plug into the PA or bring an acoustic as well.
No backtracks!
