The Groove Garden is The Ideal’s weekly open stage—an open invitation to musicians, vocalists, and performers of all kinds to step up, plug in, and share what they’ve got. Whether you're looking to test out a new original, jump in on a blues jam, or just sing your heart out, this is your night.
Each week features a rotating house band of seasoned local players who set the vibe, keep things flowing, and are always ready to back you up or step aside. No matter your genre, instrument, or level of experience, you’ll find a welcoming, low-pressure space where creative energy thrives and collaboration is the name of the game.
From soulful solos to spontaneous full-band jams, The Groove Garden grows something new every time—and the crowd is here for it. All are welcome to perform or just kick back and enjoy a night of live, unpredictable music.
Doors open at 6PM, music runs from 7 to 10PM. The event is all-ages until 9PM, and there's no cover to attend. Whether you’re a first-time performer or a seasoned pro, bring your talent, your curiosity, and your groove. We’ll provide the garden.
