For the Audience...

Location: We are located in Avon Lake, Ohio about 20 miles west of Cleveland. We are about ten minutes from I-90 and twenty minutes from the Ohio Turnpike.
Show Format: Shows typically last about three hours. Doors open 30 minutes before show time. The artists usually play two 45 to 60 minute sets with a 30 minute intermission.
Refreshments: We provide some light refreshments. Guests are welcome to bring something to share during intermission.
The Air We Breathe: Our house is non-smoking. We do have a dog and a cat. The dog spends the night at a friend's house, and the cat is sequestered upstairs throughout the show. Still, if you have alergies, you might consider taking something before you arrive.

For Artists and Agents...

Sound: We provide professional quality sound reinforcement -- including 20-channel mixer, 2-channel compressor/limiter, 2-channel equalizer, and one effects processor. We usually use an AKG C1000S condenser mic for vocals, but have Sure SM-58s available. We also have an AKG C3000B condenser mic, which is well suited for guitar. Because the room is very live, we do not use stage monitors.
Lighting: We have a simple lighting scheme using four PAR lamps. Two lamps on the left side of the room provide a warm tint; two on the right side provide a cool tint. The lights are controlled by dimmers.
Room: Our concerts are held in a 20' by 20' carpeted room with an 18' cathedral ceiling.
Capacity: We can comfortably seat 50 people with room for three performers. We supply comfortable, molded plastic, folding chairs.
