Bookings
We book bands, solo acts and everything in between, welcoming all styles. While many of our acts have record deals and a large following, some do not. What we are looking for is originality, whether it be original songs or unique presentation.Our series is only four weeks long with two acts per night. If you don't get picked it may only be because we are operating with a limited supply of shows and a surplus of performers..
Send us a link to a website where we can listen to your act. Or, if you don't have that, send your tape or CD with 4 or 5 songs that you feel best represent your live performance. We can't possibly respond to every submission but we do listen so please call after a reasonable time has passed.
