Include a link to your music online and please be patient, we receive a lot of requests for shows. If you have already contacted us and have not heard back in a few weeks feel free to contact us again. Likewise, if you have played here in the past and we have not heard from you in a while, drop us a line.

We do not ask bands to sell tickets to shows. In general, the Cafe needs an average of $100 from each show to pay our bills and remain open. Please understand that we will make every effort to compensate local and touring bands to the best of our abilities. The Cafe does not make a profit and usually operates at a loss in any given month.
In consideration of our neighbors and our relationship with the Wilkes-Barre Police Department, we would prefer you didn't loiter in the vicinity of the Cafe. This creates a lot of problems.

Be Kind, Please Don't Stagedive.

It's rude, you look like an idiot doing it, and usually land on someone a lot smaller. Be considerate.
