The Space is a multi-cultural arts venue hosting shows every Tuesday through Saturday night, every week of the year. The Space is an alcohol-free, listening atmosphere, as well as an ideal tour stop between New York and Boston. The owner is a career-touring musician. The local community and him created The Space to be a home away from home for musicians of all genres.
Artists from a variety of genres are considered, except along the likes of hip-hop, comedy, spoken word, etc. The Space is an all-original venue and cover bands will not be considered for booking. In terms of compensation, every situation is different. Artists who are new to the room are generally compensated based on a percentage of their draw. They depend on a portion of ticket sales to keep the lights on. Artists who have proven themselves here in the room or proven themselves locally will be considered for a guarantee or sliding scale percentage deal.
The Space is an all-ages, velvet couches, volunteer kind of place that hosts anything from folk open mics to national indie tours to all sorts of other odds and ends. It has a full service coffee bar, vintage boutique, rehearsal space, and recording studio. They have a professional sound system and a basic backline, which includes an Ampeg 8-10 bass cab, house drum set, combo guitar amps and an upright piano. An experienced friendly and sober engineer always mans the Sound system. Furthermore, they offer quality 2 track live CDR recording of your set for a reasonable $10. In conjunction with The Recording studio here, they also offer multi-track live recordings to Pro-tools. Bands who wish to multi-track their performance here must call us 3 weeks in advance of their show.
Typically shows are booked 6 to 8 weeks in advance for 70 to 80 slots a month for 30 to 45 minute sets. In the past, The Space has hosted national acts such as: Janis Ian, Kaki King, Andrew Bird, California Guitar Trio (with Tony Levin), Erin McKeown.
