The artist gives the club $1 per ticket the artist keeps the rest of the money as their compensation./n/nThe Metro Detroit area is faced with the dilemma of having many excellent performers and a limited number of venues to where they can perform. Key of Gee and Tivaday partnered with The Key Club to provide a venue and an opportunity for monetary compensation for all musicians. It is both a showcase and a jam session, and the goal is to help artists to gain the knowledge and experience needed for success. The Key Club is located on the 3rd floor of Steve’s Soul Food Restaurant, 1440 Rivard between Rivard and Riopelle in Detroit.



Featured artists are given a minimum of 50 tickets to sell. The artist gives the club $1 per ticket the artist keeps the rest of the money (possible $200) as their compensation. Artists are booked three weeks in advance to allow them time sell the advance tickets. The artist is asked to perform two songs. We provide all marketing and PR for the event as well as sell the artist's CDs and merchandise. Sound reinforcement/amps, mics and monitors are provided. Additionally, the event is videotaped for internet.



This is a fun event that allows the musician to network and perform with other performers. In recent weeks professional musicians like Ronnie McNeir from the legendary 4 Tops, Pat Lewis noted vocalist and arranger for the late Isaac Hayes and Hot Butter Soul, Shirley Jones from The Jones Girls, Flutist Althea Rene have stopped by to perform and view new talent.



The group/solo artist can get more than 50 tickets or each member can get an allotment of tickets for greater compensation.
