Artists are typically booked 6 months in advance. The venue is specifically seeking rock cover bands. While we do appreciate all genres of music, we are specifically seeking styles like Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Poison, and other danceable rock. Bands should play upbeat, popular, recognizable songs. Must have a hip, modern appearance.



They occasionally book major national acts, but are not accepting any original bookings through Sonicbids. No local draw is needed, but is appreciated. Compensation starts at $750 and is negotiable. 2 slots are reserved for Sonicbids members to become resident bands. Set lengths are (3) 40 minute sets. Scorpion Bar provides a top-of-the-line 12-channel Mackie mixing board, 3 mounted overhead EV speakers, 2 EV bass speakers on the floor in front of stage, two EV stage monitors and a reverb/EQ unit. The Scorpion Room does not provide a sound engineer but have designed a system that you should be able to operate on your own. Artists should plan to bring your own mics, mic stands, mic cables, instrument amps and drums. Bands must bring reasonable size amps because our stage is small. No stacks allowed.



Past performers include Ryan Cabrera and Mission Hill.
