Band Booking We book bands that are ministry minded and understand the importance of commitment in their lives and talents to the work of the Lord. Our focus is ministry, not performance. To that extent we expect bands and their members to be free from substance abuse, and addictions. Their lives should reflect Christian values, morals and consistency. We hold them to a higher standard as we feel that their time on stage places them in is a position of ministry and example, and as such, they should desire to be a representative of Christ and His delivering and keeping power. Booking Policy Full concerts - 1st set 45 min. / 15min break/   2nd set 30 min. Concert time starts at 8:00 PM  Ends at 10 PM We are currently booking bands, and do give local bands preference as they should have a local following that will support them in their attendance. While we believe in all genres of Christian music we do not book heavy metal, grunge or hardcore bands, as they don't "fit" the personality of GIG . And, it wouldn't be fair to the bands or our audiences. We are always looking for contemporary praise and worship bands, Southern Gospel, Blue Grass, and some laid back hip hop alternative. Payment is made as follows: We are an outreach ministry, and do not charge anyone who attends GIG . We exist on love offerings. All of our offerings go to the main band/group. The donations from the kitchen go back into the coffeehouse kitchen fund to restock food.  Therefore, it is in your best interest to ensure as many of your fans attend as possible. If you are in agreement with our booking and ministry policies, please send a press pack with a CD sampler or tape, including a bio of the band to the address listed below. Or email us with your Band website. Set up and Equipment Policy Doors open at 7:15 for Band. Group must be on time and completely set-up no later than 7:50 p.m.  Telephone number at GIG is 724.880.6030 or 724.564.0159.  Bands are required to use their own sound system/equipment.
