FUN FACT: I want to live a life with a microphone in my hand.

ALSO... the idea of singing karaoke in a bar full of strangers sounds terrifying.

Which is why Chickadee Karaoke Rooms in Easthampton is the perfect solution for me. The vibes are high and the room is private.

They just opened, go check them out!

And tell me your go to songs... because I'm building my list! 💃💃💃
