Rockford's week is split between two venues that barely overlap.

Together they leave Monday as the one night without karaoke.
Friday is the busy night: Monkey Business on Broadway sings until 2am, My Place Bar & Grill on Harrison Avenue comes alive, and Kenny's Place down in Rochelle starts its two-night weekend. Saturday belongs to Rue Marche, Kenny's Place and Miss Kitty's Saloon out in Marengo, whose karaoke comes billed as award-winning.
