Local musicians for local people at Aqus Cafe

We are a small cafe that has music on Fridays from 6-8pm generally featuring local musicians only. We are perfect for a local solo artists or duos and do not generally have large bands as we do not have enough room. We do not charge a cover.

Compensation is $100 plus a 50% discount on all food and drinks. Setup begins at 5 pm.

The kitchen closes at 7 pm, so please order your food beforehand or eat before the gig. The bar remains open until 8pm.

We provide a tip jar or bring your own. It really makes a difference if you have someone to pass it around to audience.

The cafe can be lively, with the sounds of espresso machines, dishwashers, clinking plates/glasses, and lively conversation—more of a pub vibe than a concert hall.

Confirmation: One month before your gig, please confirm the gig via email and send us the link to a Facebook event, so we can help promote it. Also verify that the gig listing on our calendar is accurate: www.aquscafe.com/calendar.

Sound System: You are welcome to use our PA system, but you'll need to manage it yourself: www.aquscafe.com/sound.

Announcement: At 6:45pm on gig night, please announce that the kitchen will be closing at 7pm. AND please take a 10 minute set break at 6:45pm
