Please send all booking inquires to book.myrtleri@gmail.com after reading this guide.

Thanks for your interest in Myrtle!

We receive many, many requests, and unfortunately we can’t accommodate them all. Please be patient and make sure you have provided the following:

These are absolutely necessary to receive a reply.

  • Project name (band name, storytelling event, burlesque event, etc.)

  • Link to your social media or website

  • Hi-res photo

  • Brief bio

If you have a full bill planned with all of the required info above, you are much more likely to get booked.

EXPECT A 2-4 WEEK TURNAROUND

PAYMENT

We pay bands/artists 20% of bar sales for the 30mins before and duration of the show. We also encourage our patrons to tip via cash basket, venmo or on their credit card slip when settling up. All of this goes to the artist. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

MYRTLE IS 21+

CAPACITY = 146

ORIGINAL MUSIC IS PRIORITY

We prioritize artists who are presenting their own, original material. This includes DJ nights, special event ideas, and one-offs outside the ‘bands’ category. Cover bands may be considered for Saturday and Sunday afternoons and certain events, but our priority is always original music. 

NO ASSHOLES

We have a zero-asshole policy. If your band, event team, or any associated individuals are found promoting any form of hate, homophobia, xenophobia, or misogyny—from our stage or on other platforms—we’ll cancel your event immediately. This includes voiding any existing financial agreements, however we will invite you to have an honest, calm review of any issues or accusations that have arisen.
