Jitters Coffeehouse

Jitters Coffeehouse in Southington, CT is a great, intimate performing environment for performing artists. Jitters offers original live music, comedy, drumming, and other entertainment on a weekly basis. Gourmet coffee, hot cocoa, espresso, tea's, juices, soda, non-alcoholic beers and wines as well as light foods, soup, pizza slices, ice cream and fabulous desserts.



Jitters is looking for artists who are interested in small, intimate performances. This is a great opportunity to really connect with fans and audience members. If it’s acoustic, then it’s for Jitters. Jitters has a capacity of just fewer than 100 people. They provide a basic PA system but no back line. Artists that require drum sets are not encouraged to submit unless they can use minimal percussion equipment, as the stage area is very small and Jitters doesn’t like loud.



Live music is on Friday and Saturday nights, with drum circles occasionally on Thursdays. Comedy acts are featured on the third Friday of every month. Compensation is usually in the form of donations, but any extra will be negotiated at the time of booking. Jitter’s usually has a flow of regulars, but a local draw is a plus in the selection process.

Original music only will be accepted. No covers.
