Rasputin’s Beard is an open stage for folk ensembles… trios, quartets, or larger! There is no admission; 100% of pass-the hat proceeds go to a designated specific local charity. Overhead is covered by our sponsor, PSAC Ottawa, and by Spirit of Rasputin’s.

Each of the three groups showcased gets a 40-45 minute set with about10 minutes of turnaround between groups. This provides time for seven or eight songs.  Expect the same high quality professional sound the Spirit of Rasputin’s provides for all its Saturday concerts.

This is a great way to introduce a new combo, promote an upcoming show, or simply to try out a mash-up of three or four musicians who don’t usually perform together…anything goes!! We love percussion and small drum kits, but please…no large drum sets. A large drum kit takes too much time to set up with the quick turn-around we have.

Register in advance with your host, Carol Noël, at 613-729-7973 (voicemail),

Space is limited to three ensembles per show, first come first booked.
