The Listening Room at MindFull Books
Every Saturday Night 7pm-10pm - Door Cover
The Listening Room is a very quiet performance room with great acoustics, where musicians can be heard by an audience that comes to listen. It's very similar to a House Concert setting but open to the public. We're able to seat 50, with standing room for up to 60. A door cover is collected from $7 and up depending on the performance. Musicians are encouraged to promote their CD sales during the night. The evening starts with a community Pot-Luck at 7 p.m. followed by the performance from 8-10 p.m.
