3. Is there a merch table?

Yes! Please bring your merch and a person to work the table you keep 100% of what you make.

4. How soon should I be there?

At least 30 min before you go on stage would be preferrable, and hour at most, but please come and support the other artists if you have time. Also this is a good time to check in with the stage manager and sound guy if you have any special sound requests. Try your best to tune before you get on stage. There is some room by the sound board and merch table for cases but not a whole bunch so try to keep your gear cases to a minumum. We have band parking right behind the stage, but don’t stay there as the next group will also need to unload, once you’ve unloaded please find another spot to park. There is a garage behind the venue and the artist are more then welcome to park there. If you need a parking pass please see our crew.
