Band Booking Information

Bands interested in booking at the Grog and Tankard should contact Colin at
b ooking@grogandtankard.com, or (703) 299-8887 between 10am and 9pm if
email is not possible. It is important that bands read the guidelines below before
booking.

BANDS DO NOT POST POSTERS/FLIERS ON PUBLIC UTILITIES AROUND THE
GROG, OTHERWISE THERE IS A $25 FINE PER FLIER YOU HAVE TO PAY

The Grog and Tankard hosts 3-5 bands nightly. We have a capacity for 150 people,
and provide a quality stage and sound system. All shows are for ages 21 and up
unless otherwise. The Grog and Tankard does not have a built in crowd, so bands
must do their own promotions.

Put your band's name in the subject line

Indicate where your band is from, what style of music you play, how many
band members you have, and the age group of your band

Indicate how many friends and fans you will be able to draw to the show.
The Grog and Tankard does not have a built in crowd, so bands must do
their own promotions. (Booking Agents: If you are booking for a band,
consult with your bands and be realistic about how many friends/fans your
bands can draw in the D.C. area)

Encourage your friends/fans to notify our door personnel of which band
they are there to see. This will help ensure bands will get paid for their own
crowd. The Grog keeps track at the door of how many people come in for
each band, helping to ensure that bands get their share/percentage of the
cover charge for their friends/fans

Not book any other shows in the D.C. area two weeks before you have a
date confirmed at the Grog. This is house policy.

Bands can also send their EPKs to the Grog and Tankard page at
Sonicbids.com.

The Grog and Tankard also hosts bands/DJs for all sorts of events (parties, charity
functions, etc). Charge for a special event or party will be no more than the Grog's
production cost for the night (sound rental, sound engineer, door personnel).
