music / readings / performance

contact:  Dan Swenson-Klatt   

butter bakery café is a neighborhood coffee shop offering an opportunity for performance or background atmosphere

we wish to support local (minneapolis / tc area) artists, and especially those sharing our vision of creating a more just and sustainable society through community building.

 we offer a limited entertainment venue – there is no shop-wide amplification / band size limited to 5 – we do have a small PA system available for assistance with vocals/acoustic instruments – we do allow electronic keyboards.

a two hour time slot is available Mon – Fridays 4 to 6 pm or Saturday afternoons 1 to 3 pm – we are willing to adjust to fit your schedule.

the shop is open during this time – a distraction-free environment is not likely --

during warm weather months we can help you set up outside on our front patio for a sidewalk performance if you'd like

butter bakery café does not purchase music licensing from BMI/ASCAP/MAFIA/SESAC so musicians should only play their own, public domain material, or those you have permission to play.

butter bakery cafe will provide compensation with a minimum of $15 per musician - up to $50, you may collect tips, and you may sell your own materials / promote upcoming paid events.  you can expect to be treated to beverages and food from the shop because we like to share our talents also – come early for a meal - leave with an eclair!
