- The Parish at House of Blues is a 368 capacity venue immediately adjacent to the House of Blues club and restaurant. The goal of this venue will be to offer many artists and their audience a more intimate experience than can be accomplished in the larger capacity main room. Although this is a smaller room, the production value will be maintained at a level that House of Blues has become known for. Any special needs should be addressed as soon as possible after reviewing this information.
- A few observations on this room: We are surely aware that you have heard this before, but this is a very small room with low ceilings and a very "live" feel. The sound system is more than adequate for this room. There are no side-fills, sorry. If your band is really loud, then you know what you are dealing with here. We will do everything possible to assist you to have a great show, but the room and stage are what they are!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- There is one dressing room for The Parish venue located on the first floor of the building. Access is via an elevator in the second floor kitchen located behind the stage. This is a restricted access area and we will ask that you please limit backstage access to only necessary band and crew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- All catering and meals are "in-house". We do not do buy-outs. Meals will be via House of Blues restaurant meal tickets or buffet, depending on the size of the entourage.
- Please try to have any food orders placed before 9:30 pm. House of Blues will try to honor any "reasonable" request.
- Please do not assume that because it is "in the rider" that it will be "in the dressing room"!
- House of Blues will provide an experienced server in the dressing room area to assist with hospitality needs. Please take care of this person as he/she is there to help take care of you. Tip your server!
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Load-in is via the front Decatur St. entrance into an elevator to the second floor. Please ask for assistance before operating elevator. Please call to advance parking.
