The House

Josh Cooke and Jordan Ross built the room above the coffee shop.

The Roasting Room sits over Corner Perk at 1297 May River Road. They built a listening room: seventy-five seats, a small stage, and sound dialed in with the care the best East Coast rooms are known for. Original live music, close enough to feel. Intimate on purpose. Not a club.

This is a listening room. The focus is exclusively on the original music and the stories these artists bring. We don't have food. We only do high-end drinks: an elevated cocktail menu, an elevated wine list, and a bourbon list that's through the roof. When you walk in, you're not fighting a football game on a TV or somebody having dinner. It's just all about the music.

Incredible sound. Incredible lighting. An intimate setting. You're never more than 30 feet from the stage. You can hear every instrument, every vocal nuance. That's the experience people travel from all over to have.

Artists and managers: if this room is the right size, use the form. We do not look at submissions that come any other way.

Artist booking

Play this room.

Seventy-five people who came to hear you. Wood, a real PA, bourbon at the bar. The set starts at 8. If that is the right size for the night, ask for a date here.

Artists and managers: this form is the only way in. We do not look at submissions sent by email, DM, or anywhere else. Include a Spotify artist page and a live YouTube if you have them. That is how they land on the night page. A hold is not a night on the calendar. If it is a fit, the house writes back with dates and terms.

Not asking to play? Write the house.

  • 21 and up. A listening room. Talking waits for the break.
  • Sound and lights in the house. Load-in is usually 4.
  • You keep 100% of merch. You sell it.
  • A meal from Corner Perk downstairs, not a cash buyout.
  • We design the poster in-house. Send a photo if you have one. If not, tell us the look on the form.

Dates and terms

Historical house deals were a guarantee versus a door split after production. Do not treat a number you type here as an offer. Josh answers with terms.

Poster and press

How to.pdf: the house builds the poster from the band’s preferred assets, then hangs it at the room, around town, on the site, and on the TV at Corner Perk. Send the photo you want treated. Not a collage, not a phone screenshot of a poster.

Poster look (optional)

If you are sending a picture for the poster, use the press photo above. If you are not, tell us the look here. Color, grain, western, silkscreen, what to keep off your face. We treat the people in the photo. We do not invent new ones.

Anything else

The house gets your request and your files. We make the poster, lock it with the house, then send it back to you for a yes or a change. A hold is not a booking.
