Michigan Homegrown Music is Lansing's Premier Wired Music Performance Space. With it's recording studio, internet access,and soon to be launched live streaming video and online and in store merchandise sales we are redesigning the music scene in Lansing. If you are interested in getting booked here you should follow these easy steps: 1. Send us a demo of your music (CD or tape is preferred). Your package should contain pertinent information about your band such as contact name/number/email, a written description of what you sound like, website address, where you have played, who you have played with, press, photographs, and/or whatever else you think we should know. Original Music Only! Attention Local Bands! If you are a band from Central Michigan, here are some *important* things to keep in mind: You are responsible for bringing customers to the space on the night of your show. That means you must promote your band, and bring paying customers to the space to see you play. We give you a percentage of the door money, but we must make a living. If we give you a show and it is not well attended we will be less inclined to have you back. If you pack our space, we will love you! See Promotions 101. Be nice! You probably really want to play at our venue. If you are friendly, chill and nice, you will be that much more desirable to us when we are looking for bands to book. A bad attitude is enough to make us never want to have anything to do with you again… sorry, but it’s true! How will we know you are friendly? We see you at our space, supporting the scene and original music! If you see a night on our calendar you would fit on, let us know. If you have an idea for a full line up for your show, let us know that too! While everyone would like to headline a Friday or Saturday, we would appreciate more business on weeknights, so don’t be afraid to take a show on one of those dates. Promotions 101 Playing a show isn't as simple as showing up and plugging in. We ask that ALL bands promote their shows as best as possible. After all, it's you on stage- why not have a full room in front of you. Here are some quick tips on how to work it: 1. Make POSTERS and HANDBILLS to bring to the space at LEAST 3 weeks before the show. If it is much later than that, it will make us very crabby. Please give them to the manager rather than hanging them yourself. While you’re at it, make them attractive and legible. Don’t stop there, flyer everywhere you can. We regularly send a mailing to local record stores, but you should supplement that the best you can. Bring your handbills to shows you are attending, hand them out there.

We record all shows and want to have a great recording, your help in this is essential. For acoustic instruments with pick-ups that you want to plug in, please bring a Direct Box or other adapter to plug into XLR on stage snake.
