They're very skilled musicians and they just go up there and play there songs similar to the recorded versions.

The thing is I want to market it strategically. This is an extreme example, but classical music fans aren't gonna go watch a rap concert. What I care most about, obviously, is revenue generation.
My choices right now are Pedwell, Free City Collective (they are indeed awesome), and the Latency. Not sure who would open, but either of the first two. I know that the Latency will be HUGE when their new album comes out later in the year.
Letting the artists set up tables and sell merchandise....I'm ahead of you on that one.
I plan on pampering them with food and volunteer helpers.
We wanted to book the venue for March since last year, but it seems like it won't be available until October.
