IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STAGE TIME AND TECH REQUIREMENTS
Because of the nature of hotel room showcases, our need to keep maximum performance time/minimal changeover time, and the rules of Folk Alliance, all showcases must have a low acoustic footprint. Percussion must be low key (snare with brushes, NO KICK DRUMS), and any amps must only be used to bring an instrument up to ambient volume level. We provide a PA, vocal mics, as well as a professional sound tech. We will also have a basic guitar amp to facilitate turnovers. We will not have DIs or monitors. There will be a small green room adjacent to the performance area. The showcase room itself is about 260 sq ft (see photo below) so THIS IS NOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE A BIG SOUND OR LARGE BAND. Please keep gear simple.
Feel free to contact us (info@musicnl.ca) for advice on how to make the most of this showcase with your musical set-up. Set time is 30 minutes **including your set-up and tear-down**
Help let us know more about what you (in a minimal set-up) need to showcase so we can offer you the smoothest performance and best sound possible.
