Band Submission

 

At the New Moon Café, we’re big supporters of local music – and musicians with the energy to hop in a van and make Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a tour stop. We focus primarily on folk, blues, and jazz, but we’re certainly willing to check out other genres as well. If you are interested in performing at the New Moon Café, please fill out this Band Submission Form. Aaron, the Moon’s co-owner and music aficionado, will contact you if he feels your music might be a good fit.

General Show FAQ

Weeknights vrs weekends:
 During the week we will usually NOT host shows because they generally have very small crowds and customers get upset about a cover charge. If you are traveling or want to play during the week we can talk about doing a “suggestive cover” night. Shows on weeknights should cover 7pm-10pm

Weekends are a little different. I will allow a cover and a wider range of music to be played. Bands should work the door or have somebody working it for them. Bands receive 100% of the door. Weekend shows are 8-11pm bands can arrive at 7pm to set up.
If you do not have enough bands or can fill the time during the night then we best not book the show. I will help you find other musicians to play with if I can. There is nothing worse than a band playing from 8-8:45pm then leaving and having a crowd show up for the show at 9pm.

 

Please please please send promo and flyers. Without promo Shows usually go unnoticed. When shows go unnoticed you don’t get a crowd.

The New Moon will put your show on the website but a few flyers are still the greatest promo. We have 700-800 customers per day walk in our doors; flyers help us utilize word of mouth with our costumers.

We have a PA but bring you own mics and cables.

Once again, always bring you own mics and cables.

You are in charge of door and get 100%.

Cover is set and collected by artist.

The employees of the new moon are not in responsible to take your door, set up your stuff, work your merch or carry your equipment.
