Hidden in an office building parking garage with little to no cell phone reception there’s a dark, divey bar like few others in this town. The place is called Ego’s, and seven nights a week anyone can take the stage and live out their own little live music dreams through that time-honored tradition called karaoke.

It’s true that there are other karaoke bars in town, but there’s a special energy at Ego’s. Whether you’re a regular or first-timer, it’s an overwhelming feeling of belonging and community that’s hard to put your finger on. It’s a notion that whoever you are, wherever you come from, if you’re a great singer or a lousy one, you’re welcome at Ego’s. Recently, we went down to Ego’s to find a little of where that welcoming feeling comes from.
