Here’s what selected artists get:

- A sound system, mics, cables, etc. and a sound engineer will be provided at the venue, but artists are responsible for bringing their own instruments and any additional equipment.
About the venue:
The Outpost in the Burbs, with a capacity of 1500, is a place to enjoy live music on Friday nights during the fall, winter and spring, and it's an organization that offers opportunities to serve others in the community. Since its inception in 1987, the Outpost has produced more than 350 concerts by internationally known folk artists -- Judy Collins, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, Richie Havens, J.D. Souther, Dar Williams -– and more than 50,000 people have attended.
Outpost volunteers have donated more than 35,000 hours of their time through our programs affiliated with Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tots, Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair, Community Food Bank of N.J., Dress for Success and the soup kitchen staffed by Outpost volunteers at Christ Episcopal Church in East Orange that feeds some 75 people twice a month.
