Black Cotton Club has re-imagined open mics and jam sessions, by incorporating an interactive, intimate and an impromptu experience. We welcome the audience to be unfiltered and unapologetically themselves, in an environment that is non-judgmental. Featuring a live band, we invite the audience to control the ambience of the event through their own narrative.
