The Velour Live Music Gallery is one of the premier local music venues in the Provo area. Located just a block from downtown Provo, it showcases both local and more prolific artists every Monday, Friday and Saturday, and sometimes in the middle of the week. Tuesday night is the designated "Open Mic Night," in which anyone can show up and play for both the audience and the owners. If the owners like your performance, they may schedule you for an actual show.
It's not just for the music that you should go to the Velour, although that certainly is the primary draw. The design of the interior is an aesthetic experience in and of itself, reminiscent of Bohemian-style theater. Some of the prominent features include faux stained-glass windows, red velvet curtains, avant-garde paintings, music posters and album covers, and dramatic lighting. It is a great way to understand the culture of Provo and its creative people.
