We need artists available the entire duration of the show. You may be first and you may be last. It depends on how the show goes. Refunds will not be paid out if the artist walks off the show.
​
Hype Man is recommended.
First impression is everything. You need someone to work the crowd while you deliver your song. It's optional but it truly helps if you have someone backing your lyrics and boosting the crowd up.
​​
Stay after you perform.
Out of respect for each artist we are asking fellow artists to stick around until the show is over. There is plenty of networking to be done. You miss out if you pack up and leave. You may not get another chance to perform if you head out early. Keep this in mind.
If you have great experience POST. Negative experiences to be expressed offline.
Do not risk a relationship by posting damaging content. You never know who is watching. Your customers are watching, Your potential business partners are watching. Let's handle differences respectfully rather than let emotions run all over the internet.
