~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alert!!! - Potential Show Cancellations at Brass Monkey in Baltimore~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Very important message for anyone who recently booked a show at Brass Monkey Saloon in Baltimore, MD. If you are scheduled to perform, please verify your show confirmation...

"Hi all, Patrick here with Unsigned Artists Booking.
We were approached in late August to be part of a new joint venture with a venue in Baltimore, MD (The Brass Monkey). We did not seek out to be part of the venture, but instead were approached by an outside promotions company to handle the entertainment booking for the venue. We spent the next few weeks working with this promotions company and lining up what we felt was a good situation for all involved.

All of this changed on September 30, when we received a call from the owner of the venue, claiming he had no knowledge of the agreement, and further explaining he did not wish for out of market acts to play his venue because of the hassles these acts have caused him in the past. Needless to say, we were shocked by this call.

Upon speaking with the promotions company who had made the initial contact with us, we received a faxed copy of the contract which they had signed by the owner of The Brass Monkey, giving them rights to hold events in the club on Thursday nights. However, this contract was not strongly enough worded in defining the roles of all involved, and because of this, we are pulling out of the venture and will no long have anything to do with booking Thursday nights at The Brass Monkey.

We are stongly urging all bands who have been contacted by this venue to make 100% sure you are welcome to play the night you are scheduled, and we are also informing any bands who have received a confirmation from us about playing the venue that we are no longer in any way responsible for your show there.

It is our advice you make other arrangements for the nights you are scheduled to play The Brass Monkey.

We have always been dedicated to making sure on the rise bands and artists have a safe and welcoming environment to perform in, and that will continue to be Unsigned Artists Booking main goal.

Thank you and if you have any questins, please do not hesitate to ask.
