Info for Musicians

The Press requires a sample of music from all new acts. Please submit your website or MySpace URL to music@thepressrestaurant.com. If you do not have MP3s online, you may submit a CD, which can be left with the bartender at The Press.

The decision whether or not to book an act is based on their value. Value, for The Press, is based on several factors. How many people did they draw? Did they promote their show for maximum draw? Were the act and their crowd respectful of The Press and its staff? Did their crowd spend money? Did they cooperate with the terms of the Deal Memo, particularly in regards to volume?

Before you submit your act for a possible booking, be prepared to work at promoting your show and working with our staff to create a positive atmosphere for guests and employees alike.

Like every other venue of any other size, The Press is inundated for more requests to play than there are dates available. We will respond to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your interest in performing at The Press.
