Musician Information

FACILITIES

We seat around 36 or so inside and another 12 outside. Inside is only around 1,000 square feet which is just enough room for one or two musicians to play and we are still working on a permit and place to play outside; which would allow for a larger band. We typically have music every Friday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, but are willing to work with your schedule as well. We do not have a PA, but may be able to make arrangements.

Currently, we are not equipped to offer music at times outside of our current hours of operations, except on Friday evening and on Farmer's Market nights (every Thursday through September).
