Bar Nine is a live music venue located at 807 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. Current management has been in place since November 2014. We feature live music 5-7 nights a week. Wednesday-Saturday is our marquee show which is The Original NYC Dueling Pianos. Those days are off limits to any band unless you can guarantee 74 people will attend

Bar Nine is a venue for up and coming artists to showcase their talents, promote themselves and grow their fan base. We book both cover bands as well as independent artists playing original music

As per sound ordinance in place, we must have no more than 5 instruments on stage at any one-time and all live music has to end by 11PM Sunday-Wednesday

Promoting the Show:

Each band is required to bring a minimum of 15-20 people to see them perform.

The band is required to make an event page on Facebook and add Bar Nine NY as the co-host.

The band is required to use #bar9ny on all Instagram and Twitter posts

The band is required to give Bar Nine links to their posts so we can repost and spread the word as well

The bands are required to provide a high-resolution photo

The band is required to answer some questions for our blog, which gets promoted to over 10k people in NYC

Live mix and master:

If your music is original work, we would love to feature you on our upcoming Spotify playlist

For a small fee of $50, we can select two songs of your choice and release them under our Record Label Future Moguls Entertainment

We will be starting a Monthly Playlist to our followers called Bar Nine Live andUnplugged. Please note a distribution contract must be signed and we will split fees accordingly for publishing and masters so you can get paid for streams. This gives you a chance to get your music to a wider audience

Bookings:

We like to book no more than 1 time a month unless you feel you can draw a crowd of at least 25 people per show on a consistent basis

Payout:

We offer two scales of payouts.

1) Guarantee of $150 (plus you can send the tip bucket out once during the show!)

2) 10% of the drink/food sales generated during your show from 1 hour prior to 1 hour after the show is over. (You can also send out the tip bucket for this option as well!)
