FAQ

When is my set time?
8:30, 9:15, 10:00, or 10:45.
Unless you're opening, you'll find out the day of the show.

Who else is playing?
That information isn't available until the official show flyer is released.

Can I sell merch?
Absolutely.

Can I bring my own tip jar, or empty the house tip jar after my set?
No. Tip jar money is factored into the total proceeds and gets split among the acts.

Can we set up our own drum set, lighting rig, stage banner?
No.

How many people am I expected to bring?
We ask that you shoot for 20 people.
If you do your very best to promote, and you draw less than 20, we'll forgive you.
If you fail to adequately advertise, we will not book you again.
