Booking Information
I'll try to explain how we book and I hope I don't come across as arrogant or snotty but we have been very lucky with our past series and have reached a position where we can be pretty picky about who we book.
A lot of folks want to play our series and pretty much everybody we've previously featured would like to come back. Unfortunately, since we only have about 12 shows a year, it's impossible to get in everyone that we'd like to book. I could name you at least 50 folks off the top of my head that we'd like to feature and another couple hundred if given time to think about it. We'd also like to bring back dozens of folks who have played for us in the past. That doesn't start to address all the terrific talent that we haven't even heard yet. Too much music, too little time.
Our format is pretty much original singer-songwriters. Your basic guys/girls with guitars. Generally, folk, acoustic, Americana, contemporary singer-songwriter, or whatever we're calling it this week. We book singles, duos, trios and we've even had some 4 piece bands though the band can take up more room than the audience.
We rarely book anyone that we haven't seen before. We rarely book anyone that hasn't been a featured main stage evening performer at the Kerrville Folk Festival or other major festivals. We rarely book anyone that doesn't have a couple or more CD's out. We rarely repeat performers at less than 2 years. We rarely use openers. Since it's our home and our series, we only book folks that we like, musically and personally. We don't book on name or reputation.
Of course, I say rarely to all these little "rules" because we sometimes break them for somebody that really blows us away.
The deal is 100% of a $15 door and 100% of product sales, lodging in our home, a potluck supper and breakfast. Our capacity is 55 and we often reach it. We use a small tasteful PA just to round out and balance the sound. We sound check at 6:00 PM and start at 7:30 with 2 sets divided by the potluck.
Knowing all that, to be considered for a booking send your CDs and press poop to the address above. I'll check it out when I get a chance but don't expect a speedy response. It sometimes takes a while to get to everything we receive. Let me know when you're planning to come through the area. We're generally booked 6 to 12 months in advance. We'd prefer you not play any other Norman or Oklahoma City area gigs on the same trip since our markets overlap. One exception would be church gigs the following morning.
Most important, we only host shows on Saturday nights. No exceptions.
Come meet us out at Kerrville during the festival. We are part of "Camp Bite Me" out toward Chapel Hill. Basically on the other side of the road from Camp Cuisine. Look for the inflatable vampire (Vlad the Inflator) hanging around. Also, keep us posted on any area gigs that you have and we'll try to come out and see you.
Thanks for your interest and thanks for doing what you do.
Glen and LaJeanna Pilant
