However your week looks

A gap this Friday, or a whole season to fill.

Either way, it’s one call. Tell us what you need and your budget, and we find the performer who fits. You host the afternoon; we do the finding.

What we book

A different act for a different day

Each act is its own booking, so you bring exactly what suits the afternoon: a solo musician one week, an animal visit the next, a paint session, a magician. Live music leads the way, and the roster keeps growing.
