Big Apple Deli
Big Apple Deli is a small deli, approx 150 capacity, situated on the downtown square in Snyder, TX.
Big Apple Deli has two seasons: an indoor concert season and an outdoor concert season. Their indoor season runs Nov-March (approximately) and the outdoor season runs April-October (approximately). They host live music on Thursday nights, as part of their "Live on Thursday's" program. Touring artists are hosted twice a month, usually 2-3 weeks apart. Touring artists are usually booked 30-60 days out.
The room does support original music, although an artist that is booked should expect to also "entertain" the crowd with a peppering of fun, familiar cover songs. While we do book solo artists, duo's and trio's are preferred. During the indoor concert season, the room can't support an act bigger than a trio without overplaying the room, but during the outdoor concert season, when the live music is on the patio, full bands can be supported.
The owners of Big Apple Deli like a lively, fun festive environment on Thursday nights and offer opportunities to local, developing talent, as well as hosting professional, touring musicians. "Live on Thursday's" has a decent following of its own, however the owners do expect that the artists will also promote their show.
Artists must provide 8-10 promotional posters 2-3 weeks prior to their date (posters w/ press photos work best, as opposed to text only). Posters must be completed with date/time/venue info and must be mailed. Electronic posters are not accepted; snail mail only. Blank posters that are sent will be discarded and not used.
Artist also provide their own PA. No equipment is provided; only a stage. There is no cover charge or ticket fee for Live on Thursday's. Artists are paid a flat guarantee, which ranges from $200-$300. Lodging is not included or will be offered. Times are 7-9 PM. Meals and drinks are provided.
