For Musicians
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.
​
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 .
* 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.

So, to play Albert Hall you must have at least a duo. The music should be 80% country, Bluegrass, folk or old time Americana Any mix. Redbird always throws in some Elvis and Janis. James Dalton always does and original or two but it should be mostly covers. A mix of electric and acoustic guitars is fine. But no FULL drum kits. You can have a snare and high hat or a Cajon but setup time is limited. Keyboard is fine
The Sets are 30 minutes and we have a full sound board and practice rooms. Everyone is volunteers including the bands. You can leave merchandise at the gift booth for sale. THIS IS A GENERAL RULE LIST
