OH CRAP:
If you are interested in performing at Jammin' Java, please read the following:
There are basically 3 performance "roles" at Jammin' Java. Headliner, Co-headliner, and Opener. Headliners should be able to draw at least 75 people on a weeknight and at least 150 people on a weekend. Co-bills should be able to draw at least 35 people on a weeknight and at least 75 people on a weekend. Openers are generally unpaid and draw is not as much of an issue. These are not hard and fast rules, just general guidelines. (see below for alternative performance opportunities)
1. Please direct all booking inquiries to Daniel Brindley at
daniel@jamminjava.com. Do not send unsolicited promo kits/CDs. E-mail correspondence is preferable to phone correspondence.
2. In your e-mail, please indicate how you'd fit best as a performer at Jammin' Java (Headliner, Co-Headliner, Opener), what date(s) you are interested in, and include a link to your web site (if you have one).
3. If a promo kit/CD is requested, please send to:
Jammin' Java
Attn: Daniel
227 Maple Ave. E.
Vienna, VA 22180
4. If you are booked to perform at Jammin' Java, we expect you to heavily promote your show.
This probably means 3 band requirement and we have 5 bands, 150 people requirement (which I cannot be sure of because I have no idea who will and will not come to the show), I don't know what to do about the press kit situation since we are a tour.
I will however email him and tell him the situation and say that it is a tour of 5 bands, we are not positive of the draw but two of the bands are local and that all the bands will promote it well. We can see if they will be willing to go with it with our honesty.
