What?

We would love to have you play a concert for our Brooklyn and NYC community. We host two types of concerts: ticketed events where the artist receives a flat fee and Groupmuse donation-based events where the artist receives 100% of the audience donations (online payments and cash). Read on for the specifics of each type of event.

Typically you’ll have time to warm-up, test the sound, and get comfortable in the space before the concert. You can choose whether or not to have an intermission, and we’ll allow time for a reception / socialization after the concert.

In the center, a group of musicians with guitars and other instruments perform. Others are seated on mats and cushions, and some hold sheets of paper. The room is dimly lit with blue lighting and a simple curtain backdrop.

How?

We are able to offer a flat fee for a program or to set up your concert as a Groupmuse Concert with a $20 suggested donation.

Currently our flat fee for a program is $350. This is for a 45-minute to 1-hour program (with or without an intermission).  We will host the concert at one of the venues above and market the event via our newsletter and social media channels.  

We have gear available for use like an acoustic amplifier, microphones, music stands, footstools, appropriate seating, etc. 

Recording services for audio / video of the event are also available upon request.

If you choose to play a Groupmuse, donation-based concert with us, there will be no flat fee, but 100% audience donations go to the Artist.  Our events are usually at or near capacity, and range in size from 20-50 people. The suggested minimum donation is $20.

We’d highly recommend that you come to one of our open mics (2nd Thursday of every month) or other scheduled events to meet our community, play some music, and spread the word about your event.
