Opening in the late fall ! The name will be," Waterloo Station", independently owned. I am a investor and incharge of live music. We would like to have 2 nites each week for performers. Aside from the seasoned performers....I also want performers that may not be known yet...who are having a hard time getting booked...either because of, "gatekeepers", "they" don't know you, or your not a friend of a friend, etc... If you have good "coffee house" music....I'll let you play here....I'll give you a shot...I've been in your shoes !! We will be a small coffee house and would like solo or duet performers. I'll keep you all informed as we get closer to opening.
ps....first time posting....CHEERS TO YOU ALL !!!
POST UPDATED so that venue info is right here:
Ok Then...here you go !! Booker: Rick Kaupp E-mail: somemightsay@mac.com Phone: 949 587-1363...."opening day" end of January ! Address: Waterloo Station Coffee House 23162 Los Alisos Blvd Mission Viejo, ca 92691 Type of music: The type that works well in a coffee house setting ! - excluding Rap and Hip-Hip....(sorry). Size of venue: 1200 sq ft. seats only about 25 - really cool people ! Advance booking: its best to book aleast 2 wks or more in advance to promote the gig to the public and your fans ! Cheers then, Rick

Sounds like a lot of fun! Keep in touch and perhaps contact our LA and Orange County coordinators and let them know you're interested. Perhaps Jody and the gang could put together an old fashioned JPF Chapter showcase like we used to do out there all the time? I bet folks would be interested and it would be a great way to get folks out to see the venue. 25 seats may be a problem, but if it's a mob scene maybe that will get others interested too. It could also be a meeting place for a networking evening. What would happen if 50 people showed up?

Yea.....I would have liked a little more space....either spaces were too small or too big.....plus location is a factor etc.... This is our 1st Coffee house.......so it should be interesting for us all. What if 50 people showed up??......Wow !!.....Mob at Waterloo Station......"News at 10"! .....as the British would say, "stiff up lip and all that, you know"(speaking in a Brit accent). Cheers, Rick
