The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN) (Mar-Jun 2009)

The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN), an award-winning music venue in Natick, Massachusetts (17 miles east of Boston) is actively seeking musicians and performance artists for openings for Friday and Saturday nights. Concerts are held in our restored 1875 firehouse venue, seating 270-300. There are 8-10 slots available each month. Usually there are two 45 minutes sets or one 70-90 minute set. A local draw is not necessary to be booked, but is preferable.



TCAN bookings are 6-9 months in advance, with limited exceptions. Selected artists will be compensated for their performances. There is an in-house PA system and lights and an audio engineer is provided. Additional information about the facility, lights, sound and backline can be found on the TCAN website.



Artists performing at TCAN have included Livingston Taylor, Roger McGuinn, Ellis Paul, Tony Levin Band, George Winston, Jimmy Webb, Catie Curtis, California Guitar Trio, Paula Poundstone, Judy Collins, The Second City, Marshall Crenshaw, Lydian String Quartet, and many others.



All artists will be considered, with regional and national artists preferred. There are good routing opportunities available for artists performing at Iron Horse in Northampton and Narrows Center in Fall River.
