DATE GUIDELINES
When considering dates we request bands not play anywhere else in the Des Moines area within 10 days before or 7 days after the scheduled date (2 weeks for touring bands). This will only increase the anticipation for your show at Lefty’s and make ours that much better. Please inform us if you are hoping to book another Des Moines show in that time frame, as we can always make exceptions.
Lefty’s want your show to be the best possible! Our Thur. – Sun. shows are not for entry level bands. When your band is ready for the next step we will be here for you.
RETURN EMAILS
Due to overwhelming demand, we may not respond if your act is not currently a good fit for our venue. Feel free to follow up with another email a few weeks later, but we can’t promise to respond to all emails. We do promise all inquiries are reviewed and considered!
INCLUDE IN INQUIRIES
Please fill out our form or send our booking agent a short solicitation to bookingforleftys@gmail.com and include the date/potential dates you are interested in playing, your contact info, anything we should know about your band, and the name of your act in the subject.
Please do not send any MP3’s or file attachments in the email. However, do send us a link to your website or page where we can stream your music or view your act.
ONCE YOU'RE BOOKED
Your show details will be in your contract or have been outlined by the booking agent, including set times, load in, sound check, parking, and hospitality. Designate one person to check in with the venue manager when you arrive.
We do have rear loading and parking for acts. Please let us know 2 weeks in advance if you require parking for anything larger than a van with trailer.
Please also make special requests for limited green room access. We built it with you in mind, but cannot fit 5 bands in there.
Last but not least we are now family! If we have taken the time to book you then you are special to us, and we will do anything we can to make your experience great.
