Currently, I am doing one concert each month. We do folk, jazz, bluegrass and country. Since the population of the North East Kingdom is small, doing more than one or two concerts each month isn't viable. As a result, I do not usually book the same performers twice in the same calendar year, and maybe not even within a two-year cycle. At this time I am not set up to send publicity photos electronically. When you send publicity, 4 black and white photos are preferred, color photos are ok.

     I can seat 100 people. The seating is in concert style. My average attendance is about 45 adults. The usual format is two sets of about 45 mins to an hour with an intermission when performers can sell merchandise. There are refreshments available with a donation basket available for them. People enjoy talking to each other and the performers. A table for you to sell your recordings will be available. The acoustics are so good that many performers choose to perform without a sound system or just a voice mike. There is a small house sound system with three voice mikes and the possibility of three other plug-ins. The worst problem is that performers tend to be too loud.

     The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is the poorest area in Vermont. I want to encourage the local audience so I intend to keep my ticket prices low. I have been generally charging $6 - $8 at the door with kids under 14 free. For larger bands I charge $10. The performers get 80% of the door and the Music Box gets 20%.

     This is a sideline for me at the moment. I am the library director at the Judivine Memorial Library in Hardwick, and a musician/ storyteller myself. I am a busy person! -soooooo-- If I don't get back to you immediately, that is one reason.
