SERIES FAQ
Outsound
Presents…The Luggage Store Gallery Music Series is an artist-run/grass-roots DIY effort. We book 2 to 3 months in advance.
There is no guaranteed payment, hotel accomodations, transportation, no acoustic piano, no sound person. Must start by 8:10pm. 2 groups per evening. The luggage store and outsound.org provide free advertising, and a percentage from the door: 70% goes to the musicians (divided equally by 2 sets). A PA is available (mixer, two speakers, no reference monitors) Setup begins at 7pm. Realistically, little money is made and the Series runs through the passion of its volunters.
