Come and play at Acadia! We strive to provide transparent options for all artists, so that beginners and seasoned bands can pick the setup that makes the most sense for them. When you book a show, you'll want to choose first if you want to have a cover charge, or if you want a free show for customers. We recommend that newer bands that don't know how they can draw choose the free show to start. Most artists want to book weekend slots, so you must be able to demonstrate that you can draw a crowd for those dates. Bands/artists that are confident in their draw can set the cover charge at what they believe it should be. Cover split begins at 70/30 in favor of the artist, and that leftover 30% we use to pay our sound technicians and door person. If you supply a door or sound person, then your cut of the door will increase by a percentage spelled out on the form. If you choose the free show, you will get 20% of sales for a period before and after your performance. Load in times are flexible based on need, and showtimes range from 7 to 9pm start times. Please fill out the form, and we will get in contact with you to confirm all details. If you have any questions regarding the process, email us at booking@acadiacafe.com.
