Stage dimensions: 17′ deep / 15′ wide / 3′ high
There is a limited amount of space backstage. You may end up storing empty cases in your vehicle or trailer.
The live room is a good sounding room, and as such we rarely use drum overheads, hi hat mics, etc.

Sound check: We provide a full sound-check for the headliner, and the opening band will get a brief sound check before we open doors.

For touring engineers: Persons operating equipment of the Local 506 must be respectful of its limitations, and comply with the verbal input of the house engineer. Our house engineer has the discretion to pull any visiting engineer off the P.A. if deemed necessary to protect our equipment. Bands will be billed for damaged equipment in the appropriate circumstances.

Bands are responsible for any damage to but not limited to equipment including
microphones, stands, monitors, sound boards. Receipts for that night will be with
held from that nights settlement to cover the cost of any damage incurred.
