BOOKINGS:
for LOCAL COVER BANDS:
Our entertainment is booked exclusively by Judy Blem, Main Event Talent Agency. Friday & Saturday night bands must play cover tunes (yes, of course, you may throw in some originals). The hours are 10PM until 3:40AM (45 on, 30 off) so you must have five sets of material. We have a house PA and sound engineer who also DJs on your breaks.

Cheers Food & Spirits was established in 1985 and is recognized as one of South Florida's finest live music venues. For over 23 years, Cheers has provided a place where cover bands and original artists can share their gift with an intimate listening audience. We pride ourselves in booking a variety of events throughout the week. We offer an Acoustic Open-Mic Night with full sound and backline on Mondays, a Pro-Jam for artists who would like to sit in and jam with a band on Wednesdays, cover bands on weekends, artist showcases every other month, and we are about to re-launch our all-original Sunday concert series! This series will run about every 4-6 weeks; please check back for announced dates!
Cheers Food & Spirits has teamed up with reputable talent agent and promoter Judy Blem, owner of Main Events Unlimited. Judy has been booking gigs in South Florida since 1991, and challenges audiences to open their hearts, minds and ears to new music. Cheers and Ms. Blem wish to open their doors to touring artists of all genres. We are looking to provide touring artists with a valuable gig in southern Florida.
We offer a house PA and sound engineer. There is no backline, but some arrangements can be made when necessary. Cheers will promote your band's name, photo and website link on their site, and your name will also appear on the venue calendar and advertisements. Compensation is offered, but varies based on the night of the week, type of event, and local draw. This is a great gig for any touring artist to perform at a top tier venue in south Florida.
Please DO NOT drop us an e-mail saying "check out our myspace page." You will not get a reply. We get hundreds of this kind of letter and don't have time to review submissions this way. To submit your promotional package, please visit:

If you are a cover band from out of town, we're sorry, we do not have any weekend spots available for you. Our stable of top-notch South Florida cover bands is all we need! Thank you anyway.
We hope to see (and hear) you at Cheers!
Sincerely,
Shawn Chase, Proprietor, Cheers
Judy Blem, Owner, Main Event Talent and
Entertainment Dir. for Cheers
