Musician Booking

🎶 Musician Bookings – Shortways Barn

Shortways Barn is always on the lookout for talented local musicians, bands, duos, and solo artists who know how to bring a crowd and create an unforgettable live music experience. We’re building a community of performers who don’t just play music — they connect, engage, and turn a night out into something people talk about the next day. If you’ve got a solid following, a great sound, and the energy to match the room, we want to hear from you. Whether you’re performing originals, covers, or a mix of both, Shortways is a stage where local talent shines. 👉 Fill out the form below to be considered for upcoming bookings.
 

The best way to get noticed is to perform a 12-minute set at Open Mic Thursdays.
