Yes, for most of our shows. We encourage you to buy tickets at Hopmonk Sebastopol and Hopmonk Sonoma in advance. The exceptions would be Monday Night Edutainment, Open Mic, Juke Joint and free shows.

Tickets can be purchased through our website via Hopmonk Sebastopol and Hopmonk Sonoma or at the Tavern Bar.

No. Here’s how it works:

• TICKETS ONLINE
  When purchasing tickets online please remember to print out the confirmation and bring that with you to the show. When you arrive, please check in at the door with your ID and confirmation.
• IN THE TAVERN
  If you purchase tickets in the Tavern Bar your name is put on our Will-Call list. It’s a good idea to retain your receipt and bring it to the show. Please be prepared to show ID.

There is a service fee associated with the purchase of a ticket on line. By purchasing your ticket in advance, you will be assured that you will get in to the show in the event of a sell out at the door. You are also making a contribution to the environment with In-Ticketing’s One tree planted per ticket sold program.

One tree planted per ticket sold. In 2003, In Ticketing partnered with Trees for the Future, an organization dedicated to regenerating the earth by planting trees. This organization has been helping communities around the world plant trees through seed distribution and agroforestry training. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations. In Ticketing has sponsored the planting of hundreds of thousands trees to date.

Sure, we will ask you for your friends name and contact information.

No, we require that all tickets must be paid in full prior to the show.

No, to receive the prepay discount you must purchase you tickets before the day of the show.

No, sorry. All sales are final online. You can transfer them to a friend or find a way to sell them.

No. Unfortunately there are bad people out there who will try to use a lost or stolen credit card. We wouldn’t want that to happen to you.

Yes. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover when purchasing a ticket on line or beforehand in the tavern. You do need to have cash on hand to purchase tickets at the door the night of the show. If you don’t, then purchase your tickets in the Tavern and keep you receipt on your way through the Tavern to the Abbey.

In the Abbey where all of our big shows happen. You will have the opportunity to perform on a professional stage and enjoy the space where the big guys like Leon Russell, Jefferson Starship, Lyrics Born, David Grissman, Jackie Green and many others have performed.

Sign-ups are at 7:00 in the Abbey. Be there on time or even early, there is usually a line.

7:30 PM to 11:30 PM.

20 or so.

2 songs or 10 minuets which ever come first. If you play 2 songs that are 3 minutes long then you have used your time. If you play one song that is 10 minutes long, it better be good.

Every week there is a featured act which is selected by the host. This performer gets 20 minutes during prime time to shine.

Woodwork Sessions is when the best of the open mic get to shine. Every three months, three or more acts are selected from the open mic to share a night in the Abbey.

Yes. All kinds of people show up, from first timers to old pros.

No! That job belongs to Bill DeCarli. He can be contacted at: bill@hopmonk.com

No, but if you bring your iPod we can run it through the PA.

Nope, we have it all covered. We have a professional venue with all the bells and whistles.

No, but we have direct boxes so that you can plug in to the system. If you play electric guitar and want some crunch or other effects you should bring your own amp or foot pedals.

No.

It most certainly can! We are always looking for good musicians to play in our beer garden, and even pull the occasional opener from the open mic. Some open mic’ers have even booked to play shows.

Why, yes, it is!

The open mic host, Bill DeCarli.

No and Yes. This is one of the few all age’s evenings in the Abbey, but only until 10:00 PM, when we ask the kids to go home. We are all about giving everyone a chance to perform and hone their skills.

Can it sing?

You bet. However remember this is an open mic and there isn’t a lot of time to set up and break down. We recommend that folks, especially drummers, bring the minimum amount of gear to get the job done.

Yep, Bill is particularly fond of Lagunitas 'Lil Sumpin these days!

You bet! As long as the kitchen is open.
