Tiki Hideaway Venue FAQ

What is the general event rundown?....

We feature 2 acts every Friday night. Both groups need to arrive at least one hour before their designated time slot. The first act goes on at 9:30pm, the second begins at 10:45pm. Please be aware of the Load in / setup / set times / breakdown of the entire show so both bands are able to get their fair share of playing time.

**Note: During baseball season, Songwriter’s Studio will NOT take place in the event of a Red Sox home game.
