I had a long talk with the boss last night, she's VERY happy with what Open Mic has become, the quality of the Sound I provide ( I donated and installed the new PA and run sound 3 nights a week) The quality of artists has improved , several artist comment it is thier favorite venue due to the sound and vibe we create. As a result of the blossoming singer songwriter pool , we are shifting our balance more in that direction for bookings.
Bands are fun , but dB SPL and $$$ are more of an issue .
We had a new local artist play last night.. with an all in one loop station / multi FX on thier voice and acoustic. While I admire the talent at incorporating all the tech , after an hour the only people left in the 1/2 full house were his wife and friend .. It wasn't any more entertaining than the house XM station.
The Boss commented she couldn't make out the lyrics behind all the effects, and would have preffered just straight guitar and vocal
RULE #1 If the house loses money on your gig , you ain't coming back
