Information for Performers

We strive to maintain accurate set times, however, due to typical event occurrences, set times may begin later than originally scheduled. If you want to start your set later than the scheduled time, be prepared to play a shorter set. A sound engineer will be in attendance at all events. Both bars generously provide drink tickets for the performers. We will either have a tip jar available at the stage area, or pass the tip jar during your performance based on our judgment of whether it is appropriate given the number of audience members in the venue.

We want to feature great music in a warm and supportive community event. More than anything, we want to make this a memorable and enjoyable experience for both performers and audience members. We expect our performers to act professionally and courteously, whether dealing with employees or audience members. Come prepared to hear some very gifted musicians play, relax, have a few drinks, and play your music for us!
