The Garage is one of the premier venues for live entertainment in Denton, TX. The Garage has been in its present location for 8 years, though it was formerly known as “Muthers”.
Bands will be provided with a bar tab as long as at least one member of the band is 21+. Bands will receive 80% of the door as well. The door cover is $2 (over 21) and $5 (under 21), but can be raised on request. There is one band booked per night, but if you want to provide an opener, you are welcome to do so. Bands are required to play from 11pm to 2am, with one 15-minute break each hour. If we provide an opening act for you, they will receive 1/3 of the door. Please note that our openers bring in enough paying customers to cover their money, and usually more. An opener is not required if you are able to play the entire set time of 11pm-2am.
The stage can comfortably fit 3-4 performers, but is rather small, so acoustic acts are preferred, but not required. We can accommodate between 165 – 200 people. Generally, a local draw is needed! We have some local foot traffic, but for the most part, you need to be able to provide a base crowd. 20-50 people for a base crowd will usually draw in more patrons off the street.
We book 1-3 months in advance; we have live music on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Fridays are usually booked well in advance, while Wednesdays are booked only about a month in advance. Mondays are open mic/new artist audition nights, but we still offer compensation and a guarantee for booking on Mondays.
We have a basic PA system with 6 inputs, and have 2 house mics, but with advance notice we can access a full board with additional mics.
