So how do I promote this?

We'll have a ticket link available at least 30 days before your show and we'll create a post in our Events listing. You can link to that post on your tour page, social media, etc. – it gives potential guests all the info they need to find us. We post the shows on all major local online calendars and are happy to pass along a media list.

Where will I be playing?

You’ll be performing at B-SIDE Memphis. It’s located inside Minglewood Plaza at 1553 Madison Ave. in Memphis.

Where do I stay?

If they have space available, we will rent units at Crosstown Concourse, graciously hosted by the residency team at Crosstown Arts. If this is your arrangement, please fill out their lodging form three weeks ahead of time and let them know when you'll be arriving so they can schedule staff to show you to your room. If your schedule changes, please update them on your ETA.

If Crosstown units aren’t available or you need more space, we will provide a lodging allowance and can guide you toward hotels or AirBnBs that have offered us discounted rates.

How do I get there?

B-SIDE is in the heart of Midtown Memphis (less than half a mile away from Crosstown Concourse). Parking and load-in are on the southeast side of the Minglewood Plaza building. Look for the music gates and ramp.

When do I go on?

Generally our shows at B-SIDE have 5pm load-in, 6pm sound check, 7pm doors, and 7:30 start time (all times Central). B-SIDE does not have dedicated dressing room space, so plan to get dressed and ready in your room. If you sent along specific snack/beverage rider requests, we’ll have those available onsite at the venue unless directed by you/your team to deliver them to your lodging in advance.

We'll do an intro about the series before things get rolling; you can be onstage for that or make an entrance. We typically suggest the show being two 45-minuteish sets with a drinking/merch-buying break in the middle, but the flow is ultimately up to you.

What do I need to bring?

Just you and your gear. B-SIDE is fully stocked in a "live music at a bar" type of set-up. If you need anything that may not be typical backline, let us know.

What do I eat?

We will Venmo (or PayPal, if you prefer) a meal buyout of $25 per artist, so make sure we have your info. There are a multitude of restaurants all along Madison Ave; some of our favorites are The BBQ Shop, Casablanca, StickEM, Los Comales, and Tamboli’s. For post-show options, head to Huey’s or one of these.

If you’re staying in Crosstown, there are multiple dining options inside Crosstown Concourse that we'd encourage you to check out if you're dining pre-show. If you need something later, Flip Side pinball bar, just across the parking lot, has a full menu and Is open until midnight, and Black Lodge is open until 3am (but may have an event going on). Art Bar, right next to the Green Room, is open until 1am on weekends and has a few things to nosh, too.

What/How/When do I get paid?

The ticket price is set for each show depending on your exposure in the market and expected draw, but will never be lower than $20. Like I said, 100% of sales go right to you. Any cash payments will be handed over immediately following the show and we can either write a check on-site or send a Zelle transfer shortly thereafter.

Can I sell stuff?

Of course! We'll have a merch area available. If you need help staffing it, please let us know at least two weeks out so we can find someone.

Do I, um, have to hang out?

The amount of time you choose to mingle with me or the guests is totally up to you.

Would you please accept a copy of my latest CD in thanks for hosting?

Yes, of course, that's so nice of you.

Can I come back and play again?

We love you. We think you're amazing. That's why we booked you in the first place. But with our limited show schedule, we restrict repeat artists to three per year, on a first-come, first-serve basis. You are part of the Folk All Y'all family and always welcome to stay at the house when you come through, though, and if we can't book you, we'll help you line up another local gig as best we can.

Can I ask you something else?

Whatever you'd like. Email info@folkallyall.com if you have any other questions, and my phone number should be in your advance info.
