Midtown has two places where bands can perform, including the larger back room. The right fit depends on the lineup, the audience and what else is happening that night.

Come to listen, bring a friend who loves a good set, or talk with Midtown about playing. Check the event listing for the artist, start time and any entry details.

For the Listeners.

Make a meal of the evening. Browse the taters and snacks before the set, pick a drink, and give yourself time to settle in. The experience is at its best when the room is listening together.
