Out Of The Bedroom’s third night at Woodland Creatures on Thursday 20th April is going to be a special one! The feature act is someone who very rarely plays intimate concerts in Edinburgh and we feel privileged to have her playing at OOTB this evening.

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cera Impala is a banjo-, ukulele-, and guitar- wielding mama who oozes wild style. Her voice is unique yet timeless, with writing style just as magical. She creates songs that feel instantly familiar. Born in Flagstaff, Arizona she has made many places her home since ’94 when she left – from Portland, Oregon, to New York City, to all over California, Olympia, Washington – which explains the eclectic mix of musical styles in her songwriting. Cera performs with her hand-picked band, The New Prohibition and can also be found performing and recording with indie-rock band Dark Green Tree and singing with the queens of harmony and sass, The Bevvy Sisters.

There may be some special guests in the audience too… perhaps even a future / serving politician or two singing along! Expect some members of the audience to have something of a Green hue about them.

Slots as always are up for grabs if you fancy a bit of stage-time. Sign up from 7:30pm and we’ll get the first act on at 8pm. Original material. Our feature act Cera Impala will be on at 9pm.

Will be great to see you there…

OOTB  ?

Out Of The Bedroom got off to a good start at our new venue last time with thanks to those who turned up to perform, watch and listen. For this Thursday we have booked an amazing and well known headline act.

Edinburgh’s very own Aaron Wright is a rather talented and charismatic singer/songwriter whose music has a mix of alternative folk, country and pop amongst other influences. Aaron released his first EP ‘Behold A Pale Horse’ which features his popular song ‘Go On Yer Self’ and later followed by his self-titled debut album. More recently Aaron released his second album ‘Flying Machine’.

He’s had radio-play from the likes of Billy Sloan and Vic Galloway, is signed to a Glasgow-based record label and has played festivals all over the country. So it looks like we’re in for an incredible performance.

Edinburgh’s longest running open mic night Out of the Bedroom is moving to Woodland Creatures this Thursday!

Come along and help us celebrate by playing your own songs or enjoying the great songs played by others.

Starts 8.00 pm, with sign up from 7.30 pm. Entry is free and performers get a free drink.

It’s all go and all new for Out Of The Bedroom. We would love you to come along to help us celebrate our new venue at Woodland Creatures (260-262 Leith Walk) this Thursday. That’s right, we moved from our once monthly Tuesday evening to Thursday evenings now every fortnight.

To start our first evening we are dedicating it to a night of open slots, so there should be enough for all you performers out there to have a bit of brand new stage time. We’ve kept our usual start time of 8pm and signing up for a slot is from 7:30pm. You even get a free drink for performing!

OOTB is open to all varieties of performers as long as any material used is original.

Another reminder that Hailey Beavis’s night The Critter Session runs fortnightly at Woodland Creatures on the other Thursday which means that there will be a seamless transition of talent every Thursday from now on.

Good vibes and good times are ahead and it will be fantastic to see you all there.

BIG news from Out of the Bedroom… we’re moving to Woodland Creatures on Leith Walk! We’re moving night from Tuesday to Thursday, moving to every fortnight and musicians who play will get a free drink at the bar – woo-hoo!!

First night will be Thursday 23 March – put it in your diary! We will be running at the usual time of 8pm start, sign up at 7.30 (original material only, you know the drill!).

Hailey Beavis’s excellent night The Critter Session runs fortnightly at Woodland Creatures on the other Thursday which means that there will be a seamless transition of beautiful music every Thursday for musicians and music lovers. 

This is not a love song. It’s an entire evening of open slots this Valentine’s Tuesday, which means without a feature act we have a handful more slots up for grabs. Grabbing slots is apparently quite common on such a special day.

So come on down to the Outhouse and play us some of those self-penned emotional songs. Sign-up from 7:30pm and we’ll start the first act at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be like tongue-tied French kissing to see you there…

Hello. OOTB 640 is our first event of the new year and it’s an entire evening of open slots for all you talented performers out there. No feature act means there are a handful more slots up for grabs.

Out Of The Bedroom is open to musicians, comedy, spoken word magicians and the like. As long as any material used is original. So it will be great to see a variety of talent this Tuesday evening.

Sign-up from 7:30pm and the first act will kick off at 8pm.

Looking forward to seeing you all there…

This Tuesday is our last OOTB of the year and we celebrate with a Christmas special. No feature act as Santa was all booked up, so it’s an evening of open slots for all you festive performers out there.

We’ll even break our rule, a little, of original material only to allow any Christmas song to be performed if you desire to do so.

Sign-up from 7:30pm and the first act of our last event of 2016 will start the sleigh-bells at 8pm.

Will be quite jolly to see you there…

Hello. This is our penultimate OOTB event of the year and we have an evening of open slots for all you performers out there. Next Tuesday evening will be our Christmas celebration open mic to round things off. OOTB will return soon in January after the new year hangovers have gone.

All kinds of acts are welcome as long as any material used is original.

Sign up from 7:30pm and we’ll start the first act at 8pm.

Will be blubbery wubbery to see you there…
