About me:
........
I would like to solicite interested artists (both veteran and "new"). We've been running acoustic shows at the "new" Acadia Cafe for a few months now, and there actually seems to be some audience for NEW and UNKNOWN artists rather than the "trendy" artists dictated by media attention. I'm sure since the Acadia only holds eighty people, it works as audiences do not have to be large to provide the venue with energy.
.........
Frequently, not only does the chemistry between the artists and audience work, but also between the various artists themselves. I need to get more artists interested in trying out new material and share the stage with a variety of performers. Since the Acadia asks that artists only perform "ORIGINAL" music, it's a great way for me to see the new artists.
...........
Right now, we are charging a $5.00 suggested donation allowing no cover to those that don't want to pay with five to six artists performing from 7PM until about midnite each Thursday. After paying the venue sound person ($1.00 per admission), the door is divided between DEMO and the artists. The artists 50% of the Gross Gate is then divided equally amongst all the performers. My difficulty has been getting the diverse mix cuz' my sources of finding available artists has decreased since I left the ongoing activities at First Avenue.
...........
In attempting to rebuild my access to artists, I'm working with a mulitude of venues, but NOT looking for the normal commercial touring act, but rather the developing artist that just need a stage to work out new material with audiences and other artists. With my teaching I have found access to a great number of "new" artists willing to perform, but I'm trying to build a greater diversity in performances than I'm presently booking.
SO, DEMO iS LOOKING FOR VENUES IN THE TWIN CITIES THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO DEVELOP A WEEKLY SERIES OF SHOWS THAT HIGHLIGHT EMERGING ARTISTS. Please contact myself or Neo at DEMO, if interested in setting up a meeting.
................
It's been an effort to get audiences to come out and see "new" bands, but generally such development takes time as any artist who has been around for awhile can attest.
............
Artists interested in peforming any DEMO showcases should contact me at steve.mcclellan@gmail.com. and/or go to www.demomn.org for more information about DEMO. DEMO also has a myspace site.
