Cafe 939

Once your show is confirmed with us, you cannot play a show within a 100-mile radius three weeks prior and two weeks after your show at The Red Room @ Cafe 939. This is how the Boston music scene ebbs and flows. Be kind.

Fax or email us a signed W-9 form (irs.gov) at least two weeks before the date of your show. We need this in order to pay you. Checks will not be ready on the day of the show if we have not received your W-9 by the two-week deadline. If you have a door deal you will receive a live check on the night of the show. No cash.

Contracts/Riders

We will issue you the The Red Room @ Cafe 939 artist contract/agreement. Sign and return it via email or fax (617 747-6144). If you have a contract and/or rider send it to us and we will sign and return it you. There may be some rider requests that we cannot accommodate and that are not negotiable. The venue never covers parking, transportation, or hotel accommodations. Park your vehicle in a legal parking space or garage. The Red Room @ Cafe 939 is not responsible for any lost/stolen belongings inside or outside the venue.
