1) This series is primarily for Lawrence area performers. Most audience members come to hear a particular performer rather than to just have something to do on a Tuesday night, so out-of-area performers who don't already have a local following are likely to find an empty room.
2) The spring series usually runs from the first Tuesday in March until the Tuesday before Memorial Day weekend. The fall series usually runs from the first Tuesday after Labor Day to the last Tuesday before Christmas.
3) If you are new to the series, I need a 3-4 sentence description of what you'll be doing (including names and instruments) and a picture. If you have performed here before, I will use previous photos and descriptions unless you indicate otherwise. If you have these, I will link to your website and video on the www.TuesdayConcert.com website.
4) We are all doing this for tips, me included. If tipsters are particularly generous, I might take out $5 or so to help cover my expenses in producing this series.
5) I do the basic promotion through the Lawrence Journal-World and internet, but YOU WILL NEED TO RECRUIT YOUR AUDIENCE in order to have more than just a a handfull of regulars show up. If you send out an email announcement (recommended) please include a link to the www.TuesdayConcert.Com website.
6) I do a ONE SONG opening act then introduce the featured artist(s) who performs somewhere around an hour. I'll also come back on at the end to make announcements and promote the tip jar.
7) I usually arrive about 7:00 to set up chairs and such. If you arrive before me, set up to the left as you enter with your back to the window.
8) Some performers prefer to play acoustically, but I suggest at least some sound reinforcement. If you wish, I can provide speakers and a VERY simple PA if you'll bring mics with stands & cables. DO NOT assume I will just show up with a sound system. If you use a sound system, please don't turn the volume up WAY high. Various art and yoga classes are happening throughout the building, so we have to keep from interfering.
I hope to see you soon.
