Artists: Black Cat Cafe is open to all performing artists as we consider the space a shared one for artists of every range. Our policy is that we DO NOT pay performers but they are welcome to solicit tips and sell their CDs and other items or simply experiment and jam. We promote artists on-site, via email, on our website and facebook and via local newspapers. We do not have a PA system. We ask that you furnish us with a basic promotional flyer which can be emailed and we can print. We also ask that you promote your performance via your own media vehicles especially since Irvington is a small village and audiences can sometimes be sparse. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please contact us via email (blackcatchef@optonline.net). Open dates can be found below. We offer weekend slots from 6 pm - 8pm except for special, prearranged engagements.
