PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.EVENINGMUSE.COM FOR INFORMATION ON BOOKING REQUESTS TO PERFORM AT THE EVENING MUSE.

For booking enquiries, please see our booking information and use this address: [email protected]

Club capacity: 80 seated – 120 standing. Full PA and sound engineer provided. Genres include acoustic music & full electric bands: alternative, americana, blues, country, folk, jazz, pop, reggae, rock, r&b, singer-songwriter, ska…we book ORIGINAL bands, not cover bands. Artists should be touring at a regional or national level (or have the level of talent and professionalism to do so).

Booking Info

We strongly encourage you to network with established acts to schedule a show opening for them. Unfortunately we cannot always get to all of the EPKs submitted, so setting up a show with an established act is the best way to get your first show here, or to schedule a return date more quickly.

Please review Performance Opportunities & Our Policies on Compensating Performers

We book about 3 months in advance.

1. We normally accept EPKs/web-based press kits as our PRIMARY booking resource. Please send your URL or EPK to Joe with the following in the subject line: Booking – Requested Date – Bandname (ex: SUBJECT: booking – week of 4/18 – the beatles). You can add details as desired in your e-mail, but make sure that the link to pertinent info is at the top. Send to [email protected].

2. Please follow-up via e-mail (phone calls are much more of a challenge for us to handle and response time may be delayed or worse).

1. Please be patient – but not too patient, especially if you are trying to fill out a tour. Please allow three weeks for CD/promo review, two weeks for response time to e-mails. If you do not hear back from your e-mail after about a month, the e-mail has probably been lost in heavy workflow. You can try sending another at that point.

1. Once the gig is booked, promote the hell out of it!

FIND YOUR MUSE OPEN MIC INFO

Find Your Muse Open Mic is Charlotte's premier open mic night. Each Monday night, we also feature a special guest performer from around the region or from somewhere around the world! Come out and see some of the area's best up & coming talent perform their latest original tunes. Always a fun time, hosted by the semi-hilarious Mr. Erik Button. Look forward to the start of a great Monday night at 7:30pm as you are greeted by the rest of our FYM team. Sign ups are at 7:45, so come out and get your time slot. Participate in The "Bad-Ass" of the Week, and maybe win a $20 giftcard.

Hey starting tonight the Find Your Muse Open Mic is changing a little so read up!
So firstly we are doing away with the lightning round.
Secondly, comedians set times are 6 minutes long.
Thirdly, if you bring 2 cover songs to play you only get to play one song. We're an original song open mic and thems the rules.
Fourth we're staying at 20 performers on the list and then having a wait list of 5 performers. The show will go on until 11:30 so if you're on the waitlist and the #20 performer is done at 11, you'll get a chance to go up. BEING ON THE WAITLIST DOES NOT GUARANTEE A SPOT.
