What We Book:

Rock, country/alt-country, rockabilly, groove and psychedelia, celtic, folk, blues, and jazz acts - National, International, and Local.

We are open for the sole purpose of the shows we host. We rely on the band's draw to make it worth our while - there is no built-in nightly draw.

How You Should Contact Us:

Ideally, the best way to contact us is through e-mail.
Send your website link, dates you are looking for, and contact info to:
booking@tractortavern.com
We will get back to you if and when we have something available that we think will suit. Response times vary depending on our level of busy-ness, your patience is appreciated.

Save your time and money and e-mail us. Really - we're not just saying that! Unsolicited physical press kits end up in a big pile and we very rarely have time to check them all out. Press kits that are dropped off rather than mailed are even less likely to make it to the right place. It is much easier and less messy for us to check out a band online. (Plus, your ability to follow our guidelines also goes a long way...)

Always include your complete Contact Information with any communication:
*your name
*your position within the band organization
*phone number
*any relevant website links (the band's, the label's, etc.)
*your e-mail address(es)
*if you normally book through a manager or agency, please include this contact info as well

*If you do mail us something, all materials submitted become the property of The Tractor. Accepting your demo does not constitute a guarantee or promise of return contact or actual bookings.

**Please do NOT come to The Tractor in person to discuss booking without having an appointment. We are busy, this is an inconvenience in our too-short day. Please use the e-mail!

***If you've already submitted a package and wish to follow up, the best way to do so is to e-mail us. E-mail is our friend. Our really, really good friend.
