The Albert Music Hall is an all-volunteer organization, including the musicians. We have a show every Saturday night that consists of five or six 30-minute sets. If you are interested in playing at the Hall, please contact booking@alberthall.org, describe your band, and provide some links to videos of performances if you have them.

 

Our 350-seat Hall typically draws an audience of 100-200 on a regular week, and regularly well over 250 for special shows. Our audience is known for being warm, welcoming, and giving you their full attention - because of this they have been called the "audience of gold." They love to participate in the music, so we encourage you to involve them when you can.

Rules

These are the rules for performing in Saturday shows. Note that these may vary to accommodate special shows such as our Elvis Show or Songwriters show. 

* Those who are at least a duo will get priority. We allow a few solo performers each month, but these are limited to those with .

* While we invite and encourage you to play original songs at the Hall we ask that you limit this to two or three original songs per 30m set. Aside from our special Songwriter shows, sets should consist mostly of covers.

* The setup time for your band goes towards your 30 minutes, so keep setups simple. 

* The Hall is primarily for Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Americana, Old Timey and Pinelands music. That said, we understand that musical genres are on a continuum - we have the occasional Rockabilly band, and many of our bands mix in songs from other genres such as Blues, Rock n' Roll, Pop and Rock.

* The Hall is primarily an acoustic venue. At our regular Saturday shows, musicians are allowed

* You can sell your merchandise in the foyer, we do not take a cut.
