Performing

Wake the Dead has Live Music ONLY on Friday & Saturday. Acoustic or amplified is acceptable. The PA system is ONLY available on Friday and Saturday with prior notification. You can use a tip jar or have someone stand by the doorway leading to the stage room to collect cover fees. If you want to charge a cover, that’s up to you, and for you to take care of.
If you'd like a show, what we will need from you is:

• name of band/musician
  
• contact number
  
• date you want to play, Fridays & Saturdays only (we will discuss)
  
• what time you'd like to play (anywhere between 7pm and midnight)
  
• names of other bands/ musicians playing that night with you
  (for advertising purposes)
  
• how many members in each of the bands
  

If you intend to cancel a scheduled show, make sure to let me know no later than 1 week prior to the show. I will not book another date for the band/musician, otherwise.

ADVERTISE FOR YOURSELF if you are hoping to have a crowd. I do a small amount of advertising, but it’s not enough to bring you a ton of people. Promote yourself !!

If you hang fliers around town, make sure they are in legal places (store windows with permission from establishment). If you hang them on city poles or buildings, the city will fine you $500 per flier.

Exhibiting / Art Shows

Wake the Dead has three separate art exhibits per month: one in the Main Room, one in the Study Room and one in the Stage Room. Art goes up on the 1st of the month, and down the last day of the month. The walls need to be solid with art, no large gaps in between the pieces. Label all artwork with contact information. If you sell a piece and want to take it down before the show is over, you must replace it with another. Wake the Dead does not take a percentage, and you are responsible for dealing with any sales. Make sure to check out the hanging system at WTD to see if it works with your framing. You may not put holes in the walls or use industrial strength adhesives/tapes.  If you'd like to have an art reception, we can talk about a possible date.
