The Burren Lunchtime Concert Series Booking

Gig Details

Thank you for answering our adds for the new Lunchtime Concert Series at The Burren
 
If you're not familiar, The Burren hosts live music 7 days and nights a week.

The Burren Lunchtime Concert Series is:
Mon Thru Fri, Front Room Stage - 1 pm to 2 pm
and 
Sat & Sun - Back Room Stage - 3 pm to 4 pm
 
The set up is very simple. 
FRONT ROOM:

We've got one microphone hanging over the stage and we're looking for acoustic acts.  
We're looking for bluegrass, americana, singer/songwriters, traditional classical, jazz, international and all kind of acoustic type acts.  We've got a stage set up for the series. Your job is to show up and play.

BACK ROOM:
This is a big ol' room and the acoustics are great.  We don't have the PA system set up for this gig.  You are welcome to bring a small portable rig, like a street performer's rig, or you can play totally acoustic.  If you are well versed in running sound from a proper board and feel confident in using our PA system, please do contact me and we can maybe give it a shot.

We're right on the Redline, completely T accessible.  This lunch time series is a tips gig for now, but there are a ton of opportunities for paid gigs at the venue.  We hire sessions for the front room most nights of the week and we also have ticketed and non-ticketed shows in our back room.  The Burren is committed to presenting live music all week long.

 - The gig is for tips/donations.  Please put out your guitar case, tip bucket, make it flashy!  Ask any veteran street performer.  It works
 - The Burren will feed musicians and of course a pint or two is in order.
 - The club asks you to make a Facebook invite for your event.

 - Sound:  
FRONT ROOM:  There will be a mic cable hanging from the wall over the stage.  The Mic is behind the bar.  The idea is that this is a very acoustic show.  Play underneath the mic, kinda the way Dylan used to record solo!
BACK ROOM:  BYO small street rig, go acoustic or contact me in regards to the PA system, but the PA system can only be used if you really know how.

 - Tips:  Put out your case, or a hat, or bucket!  Make a sign!  Put 5 bucks in there (prime the jar as they say!)  Please do sell cd's and put out your mailing list as well!

 - Lunch:  Please do have lunch on us when you're done!  Have a pint too if you'd like!

Thank you!  And let me know if you have any other questions!
