This is Annie, and she’ll be helping you with the merch table.

Pizza is provided for the band before the show

Can I Bring a Guest to The Show?

Once 25 tickets are sold each band member gets a plus one for the show

How Does Payment Work?

We offer 40 seats in the studio for $15 each through Eventbrite. Once we have sold 25 tickets we will split the total of all ticket sales 50/50. (e.g., if 30 tickets are sold, the total ticket sales are $450 and you would get $225). If 25 tickets aren’t secured we do not activate the split. Payments are made via Venmo about 2 weeks after the show.

The more you promote the show, the better your chances are for a nice little payout! Payout is about 2 weeks after the performance.
