performing conditions

1. You must not have a gig within 1 week before and after your performance in order to be eligible to play (that's a two week radius)

2. Songsalive! members get preferred booking. www.songsalive.org/join

3. Artists will be performing anywhere between 3 songs to a half hour set depending on your local following (encore dependant on crowd response.) We reserve the right to decide your performance length and time.

4. We encourage eclectic music and entertainment. You may combine theatre, spoken word, art, dance, etc. This is your opportunity to deliver more than any other club has allowed before in this town.

5. There is no performance fee for local artists and we do our best to provide tips and treats for touring artists. Artists can have a merch table to sell your product and you keep 100% of your sales. You will also be highly promoted through the WGM and Songsalive! networks plus the local media. If you become an ongoing WGM performer and you bring a large crowd, we will throw a $ bonus.

6. It is imperative that you bring at least 5-10 people, to the show. If you do not bring a minimum, you will not be invited back until your numbers increase.

7. You will most probably be playing acoustically so be prepared for that. Some artists will have the opportunity to play amped, depending on set length and your local following.

Do you want to host a Living Room Session in your home? Here's how.
a) pick a great night when gilli is available

b) your living room, your porch, your backyard... all works! Piano provided would be super but not essential. Enough space for at least 15 people if not more. You don't need to be an expert, just a music fan. There is great satisfaction from hosting something like this as it helps indie artists and you get great music in your home.

c) gilli moon is your central headliner but you can ask other artists to perform. She might be able to help you find artists too. Keep it acoustic. You don't need a P.A but it can be helpful.

d) Make a donation for all friendly attendees to pay. This all goes to the artists, plus any CDs they sell. The donation should be between $10 and $20. Sometimes a guarantee to the artist helps (e.g $200 guaranteed (minimum 20 people @ $10 each) and if you don't get the numbers, the artist still gets paid. You get to feel what it's like to risk like any promoter, for the love of your artist.

e) the name Living Room Session is a gilli moon working trademark, and can only be used in conjunction with shows you create with her, and not for your own shows.
