In order to be considered for a Musician's Showcase or House Concert event we need to hear an audio demo and review your promo kit (website promo kits are fine).

If you don't have recorded material for review you can audition with an appearance at our award-winning Saturday Open Mic! The sign-up list features 12 performance spots (one reserved for the host) and is available every Saturday on the counter at Walden's at 5:00pm. Those spots go fast - show up early to ensure your place on the list!
You are welcome to sell your CD's or advertise your upcoming gigs.

North Carolina

The Cave

452 1/2 West Franklin Street
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516
Phone: 919.968.9308

Here's what you've got to do:
1. Mail a CD of your music and your press kit to 452 1/2 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 27516.
Address c/o Mr. Mouse, Booking.
2. Wait 2 weeks.
3. Call the Cave at 919-968-9308 on a Tuesday or Thursday from 2:00 - 5:00 PM. Ask to speak with Mr. Mouse. He handles booking.

Directions:  Look for Uniquities (a clothing store), and the West End Wine Bar (a wine bar--duh!) Between Uniquities and the West End, there's a little set of steps leading down from the sidewalk. It looks like it would lead to the basement of Uniquities. And guess what? It does! And that's where we are. The door is on the left at the bottom of the steps. If you are on West Rosemary Street, look for Mama Dip's Country Kitchen (another restaurant), and head into the parking lot next to that building (on the west, or on the right as you face Dip's from Rosemary Street). Parking in the back lot, however, is a no-no. (If you get towed, don't blame us - we just work here!) You'll see our back door: The Ballroom Entrance.
