We're Hosting an Open Mic In Toledo on September 12!
OCTIV.JAM will be a free hour long open mic jam happening from 6-7pm on Saturday, September 12, at the Bronze Boar in Toledo as a part of OCTIV.FEST. Come get the Led out, kick out the jams, rock'n'roll all night, or whatever you're therapist has approved for you.
Who Are We? (Meet the octiv.live Team)
Disproving "dead-internet theory" by showing the real humans behind this whole shebang. Spoiler: Yes, we're all ticklish, and yes, we all like long walks on the beach. (But not at the same time...)
We booked our own show (and lineups are now a thing)
Octiv Live lands at the Bronze Boar on September 12, plus multi-act Bills, one login for artists and venues, and an onboarding flow that stopped asking the same question twice.
