Beatnix is a "family friendly" all-ages venue with a cozy, homespun atmosphere. Acoustic and semi-acoustic acts generally work the best, but we're flexible on the format of your group. We're open minded about music genres and will entertain any suggestion, excessively loud and purposefully obnoxious music is not suitable for Beatnix and is better left to the bar & nightclub scene.

Performers Info:
We encourage all performers to arrive by 8:00 (when possible) to verify that you're on-site and ready to perform. We provide an 1,000 watt sound system including microphones & mic stands. Musicians from around the area tell us they love playing Beatnix because of the friendly atmosphere and great sound! Contact us in advance if you have any special requirements or questions about the house sound system.

Compensation:
Beatnix does not pay performers nor do we allow a cover charge. Music at Beatnix is always free and open to the public. This provides our community with a great venue for original music, while songwriters have the opportunity to perform for an appreciative audience in a friendly environment.

Beatnix does provide free drinks to performers on the night of their appearance. You are welcome to sell your wares (CD's, t-shirts, etc.) and promote your upcoming gigs. You are welcome to place a tip jar on the stage. Audience gratuities may be solicited from stage or freely offered, however, passing the hat or charging a cover is not allowed. If you are interested in leaving some of your own CD's for sale on in the shop, bring a few with you and talk to Benn. You set the price and keep all the profits from sales of your CD; Beatnix charges $1.00 above your price to cover sales expenses.

Friday Open Mic:
If you don't have recorded material for review you can audition at our Saturday Open Mic! The sign-up list is available on Friday at 7:30pm, featuring 12 performance spots (15 min. each). Those spots go fast, so we suggest you arrive early to ensure your place on the list! Open mic starts at 9:00.

Beatnix Burger Barnstrives to provide the best all-ages environment for the promotion and performance of live music at no cost to the public. As such we ask that you abide by these few rules: No profanity or lyrical content unsuitable for a family audience; inappropriate performances will be cut short without warning; you have 15 MINUTES so plan accordingly (excessive set-up & tear-down may cut short your performance time).

Audio levels are set by the host . If you have special audio requirements please notify the host in advance. We provide mics for unwired acoustic instruments. The host will guide you as to mix and volume; please help us make you sound great!

Thank you for your interest in music at Beatnix Burger Barn!
