PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
If you’re a music performner, please remember that all of our sets are acoustic. If you have percussion, we ask that you please keep it at a level where our vendors cannot hear themselves speak. They need to be able to sell, and the main reason we don’t host plugged in full bands is because of the amount of ambient noise drums can create, in an enclosed space, that’s not meant to be a concert venue.

We’re not saying don’t use them, we’re just saying to please be conscious of that.

MECHANDISE SALES:
We will have tables set up for bands to sell any merch they may have on the day of their performance. This is at no cost to the bands or performers. The NJPRFM does not take a cut of any sales. Whatever performers and bands sell is theirs to keep.

AUDIO ENGINEER:
Asbury Audio is our sound company. Engineer name tbd

PARKING:
Parking is free but the Expo Center parking lot is going to fill quickly. The earlier you get there the better since there is no dedicated parking available. You may park up front to unload but you must move your vehicle when completed).

BACKLINE:
The NJPRFM will provide sound system, microphones, stage monitors and all other necessary items for sound projection. Asbury Audio will provide sound engineers for the day and will conduct basic sound checks.

Please be sure to bring any cables or extra accessories you may need. If you are a performer and you have music you need played during your performance, please provide it on a thumb drive or laptop.
