We're the ones in the corner, getting emotional to a Taylor Swift ten minute version or screaming at the top of our lungs to an indie sleaze classic…

Hello, we are your hosts.

Teri and Emily, best friends with a shared passion for music, discovered the therapeutic power of karaoke as a way to express their emotions.

Each month, they gathered at their favourite local spot, belting out songs that resonated with their struggles and triumphs. Their cheerful performances caught the attention of others who longed for a similar outlet, leading to the formation of a vibrant community of karaoke enthusiasts.

Inspired by this camaraderie, they decided to create a monthly karaoke salon, where everyone was encouraged to dress up to meet the theme of the evening. With cake as a sweet companion to their heartfelt renditions, Teri, Emily, and their friends transformed what began as a hobby into a joyous celebration of vulnerability and connection.

As written by us:

What is it about karaoke that makes us so happy? Some plausible reasons: Emily is a power house singer. Teri is half-Filipino. We’re always committed to the bit. Either way, we’ve been karaokeing together for over a decade, and in 2024 decided to formalize it and make sure there was always a karaoke night on the horizon.

When we were in lockdown during the pandemic, we wondered if we’d be able to sing in a small room at the top of our lungs with our loved ones ever again. Maybe? Hopefully? Since then we haven’t taken this joy for granted. Life is tough and terrible things happen in the world, and if we can gather together every so often and give others an excuse to also feel this kind of unencumbered happiness, we consider that a win. Any excuse for a good singalong, any excuse for a grocery store cake: Emily and Teri are there for you.
