Since most folks don't like to do all that readin' and such, here's the basic info on booking Reno Music Project shows at Maytan Music Center:

• All shows at Maytan Music Center are ALL-AGES with youth strongly encouraged to participate. Alcohol is not served and tobacco is not permitted in the building.
   

• Performers are provided with  pro sound, backline support, and a listening room with enough seating space for 150+. Band members get in free, but there is no paid compensation for performers. The small door fee charged covers the cost of producing the shows, including refreshments (soft drinks, coffee, bottled water, etc.).

• Our performance space is what's known as a listening room environment. It's not a bar, restaurant, coffeehouse, nightclub, dance hall, etc.--it's a lot more like a having a house concert with a REALLY BIG living room! This means we have a great space for performing and appreciating live music, however, without an attached "hospitality business" there is no draw other than the show itself. Playing to an empty room is no fun, so it's extremely important that bands do everything they can to promote their show.

• As much as we'd like to book everyone who asks, it doesn't make sense to set up a show and then have the audience consist of the soundman and the bands' significant others. Hence, our booking criteria starts with, "can the band draw at least 20 people?" We'd love to book every out-of-town act, but it's not worthwhile unless you can pair up with a local band and draw some listeners. Plus, being an unpaid venue, it often makes more sense for travelling acts to find a paying gig at a bar. Hopefully someday we'll draw enough "regulars" each week to warrant booking all the great acts who want to add Reno to their calendar.

• Showcases are currently being booked on an ad-hoc basis, typically on Saturday nights featuring 1-2 acts. If you like the idea of performing your original material in a listening room without distractions, and you're confident you can draw at least 20 people, email or call Todd South for booking questions.

The Reno Music Project is a cooperative music effort, focused on
promoting independent, original music within our community. WE NEED
YOUR HELP to make this work! We've got a great place to put on shows
and tons of talent lined up ... now we need to get the word out! If
you're like to be part of our "street team" and help promote Reno Music
Project events, send us a note and let us know!

We're also seeking donated items to help make our new home at Maytan
Music Center more "comfy & homey" for open mic and showcases.
Specifically, we're looking for 2nd hand armchairs, love seats, etc.,
end tables, coffee tables, and all those kinds of things that turn a
big room into a comfortable music listening environment. If you've got
something to donate, let us know and we'll pick it up!

We can't do this without your support ... THANK YOU!
