BOOKING INFORMATION
The Grey Eagle is a listening room-style concert venue. While many performers we feature have dedicated followings, we cannot offer potential performers a built-in crowd. Likewise, while we love to discover new artists and enjoy being part of the early stages of their careers, we simply cannot host performers who are unknown to Asheville audiences. Like many listening rooms around the US, The Grey Eagle is a destination location: an artist must already have some "marquee value" in the Asheville area in order to perform here. If you are (or represent) an artist who is relatively unknown in Western North Carolina, there are many other more suitable options for you, and a quick search on the web should give you a host of possibilities.
The Grey Eagle does not accept unsolicited demos, press kits, or EPKs. If we receive written or recorded material from you that we did not request, we will either return or dispose of these materials: we will not review them nor will we save them for reviewing at a later time. As musicians ourselves, we completely understand how frustrating this policy can be. The number of booking requests we receive daily is extremely flattering, but completely overwhelming. Though we would genuinely like to give each of these our full attention, it would be impossible to keep up with the heavy workload this creates, in addition to staying on top of our day-to-day duties here at the venue. This policy affords us time to focus on connecting audiences with performers we truly enjoy and believe in, and not just fill dates on the calendar.
If you are seeking a supporting slot opening for another artist, please keep in mind that these are fairly hard to come by. The majority of our headlining acts either request that there be no other artist on the bill, or tour with their own support. That being said, check our website often and send us an email when you see an artist on our calendar you should open for. If you happen to know the headlining artist or their representative personally, feel free to ask them directly.
Allow at least three weeks for review and two weeks response time for emails. If you don't hear back from us in a month, we are probably trapped inside the venue by a mysterious, all-encompassing mist, full of giant man-eating insects and dinosaurs and stuff. Send help.
If you already have a date booked, please send us anything we can use to help promote the event here at the club: posters, flyers, weblinks, CDs, photos, etc. While we will do our best, promotion is ultimately the responsibility of the performer and/or the performer's promotional team.

TWIN COUSINS KITCHEN
The Grey Eagle is proud to be home to Twin Cousins Kitchen; Asheville's finest Southern Louisiana eatery. The kitchen is owned and operated by native New Orleans chef Arthur Douglass, and is open for business on days of scheduled events from 5pm until the music stops. The menu features vegetarian selections as well as early bird specials for those in search of great food in a relaxing atmosphere, whether or not they plan on attending that night's event.
