This is an indie collaborative SHOWCASE, which means that all registered IC members can apply for one of the limited number single-song (5 minute) performance slots. We will give a performance slot to the first IC members who purchase tickets and request one. All IC members and the public at large are invited to purchase tickets for the show. Only IC members can apply to perform.
If you wish to apply for a 5 minute performance slot, please buy at least TWO tickets. You must also be a member of the Indie Collaborative. There is a question on the ticket order form asking you if you are requesting a performance slot. Tickets are not refundable unless the event is canceled by the Indie Collaborative due to an act of God, prohibition by Federal, State or Local Government, or at the direction of the venue.
If you're buying tickets to come to the show and are not a member of the Indie Collaborative, that's GREAT and we look forward to performing for you! There is no need to join our organization or do anything other than enjoy the show.
We typically have ~20 IC artists performing in 5 minute slots. We normally get 50-100 applications to perform, so please don't be disappointed if you don't get a slot. We do our best to make it fair. Slots are assigned about a month before each showcase.
We are renting a basic backline with drums, an 88-key digital piano (Nord or similar), and bass and guitar amps. DIs for acoustic instruments and microphones will be on stage.
