Venue reviews — by musicians, for musicians

Mar 5   New review for Bake's Place.
  Load-in is a bitch, pay to park, the club owner will book you, then change his mind, so in actuality there is no promise that you even have a gig.…

  This place is awesome! Friendly staff, great house sound tech, security are even music lovers. This is a great venue for beginners and seasoned pros. The experience has been the…

Jan 10   New review for Star Theater.

Jan 10   New review for Dublin Pub, The.
