The Empty Glass has a Resident Soundman. If you have a Soundman you are welcome to have them run Sound. However, The Empty Glass Reserves the Right to have The Resident Soundman perform sound for any band that is booked at the Venue.

We have a small room with great acoustics. The stage has a cement rear wall and acts like a mini-amphitheatre. It is the Empty Glass' policy to keep the sound pressure levels at a reasonable (non-deafening) setting. We ask that the band itself keep the stage Volume at a reasonable level. (Any band that cannot keep sound at a reasonable level may be asked to leave without pay)
