Payment
Check only, day of show.
Band fees may be paid via check only. Full payment is made just before the first set. No advanced deposits are applicable.
The room
A listening room.
We are a listening room. We are not a dance venue and have no dance floor. We ask that bands refrain from encouraging people to dance outside of their seats.
Hospitality
Green room, meals, guests.
Green room
Bands are provided access to our green room, which is designed to be a comfortable lounge space. Water is provided.
Meals & drinks
Each band member has access to one meal and one beer ticket. Liquor is available for purchase.
Guest tickets
No free tickets are provided for guests of the band (non-playing attendees).
Stage decorum
On the stage.
Tip jars
To improve and maintain the high standards of the lounge, artists are not permitted to display tip jars in Lucille’s.
Merchandise sales
Lucille’s does not take any splits on merchandise sales. Merchandise may be presented at the door before entry only — not inside the performance lounge.
Performance attire
Dress to impress. No jeans, t-shirts, ball caps, sports, or logo apparel is permitted.
Photography & media
On the record.
Lucille’s employs a house marketing and production team. Photography, video, and audio recordings of each show may be presented on our website and social media pages. By performing at Lucille’s, you indicate acceptance of these terms and consent to being used in promotional materials.
Watermarked photography may be shared with the band upon request.
