Want to Host Your Event
at the Sentient Bean?
Currently The Bean is only booking shows that include local talent and community events
There is an hourly after-hours booking fee
All booking inquires are handled via email, please do not call or mail any unsolicited materials.
The Sentient Bean is a small space with bouncy acoustics. The room lends itself to acoustic music, but we are open to other genres of music, poetry, comedy, burlesque, small scale theater, drag, film showings and more.
Questions? Email sentientbooking@gmail.com
FEATURES
Great acoustics | vaulted 22 ft wood ceiling | modest 5x7 ft stage | seats up to 50/standing room 70 | seating can be arranged with tables or in rows | smoke free
THE SPACE
Used as seating during the day, it is easily transformed into a comfortable DIY performance space. We have a stage and large open floor space that works well for standing room as well as seating. During shows, the coffee house offers baked goods, beer and wine, as well as drip coffee and tea.
PROMOTION
We include events on our website, and are happy to be Facebook Event co-hosts. In large part, however, the promotion is up to you! Feel free to drop off up to three posters, and a stack of quarter sized flyers if you have them. Flyers should include a short description of your music or a media quote. Be sure to send your information to the local media.
PAYMENT
Just to clarify, we are not a club, we are a coffee shop (and a little more). We do not pay guarantees, and generally performers accept donations or run their own door fee. Currently, as our café closes at 7PM, a staffing fee is required to book an event. The details of payment will be handled during the scheduling process.
