Our Goal is to promote upbeat Music. Bluegrass, Cajun, Country and Western, Swing and ethnic varieties. We don’t charge a large cover as our goal is not to entertain but to enlighten.

Our clientele listens and appreciates, hopefully they can buy enough libation to pay our bills, but music and the musicians are our goal and our soul so we will promote as much as possible and as a result we have certain criteria as to what kinds and quality of bands play McGrath’s

Here we go...

Ok, We’ve had a couple of great Rhythm and Rock Bands play here so we’re changing our requirements somewhat. If you know how to play to a small room like ours without driving folks outta here we’ll check you out. Drums are ok providing your drummer does not attempt to be louder than the band, believe me that happens a lot!

Want to play a weekday evening sometime and pick up some tips? That’s great and we’ll show you as an up and coming band but you need a minimum of a 100 person mailing list! C’mon you can do that...use the in laws!

Want to play a Friday or Saturday? 300 person mailing list and at least one released CD-sorry but that’s the way it has to be...please, it also means you have to use that mailing list-preferably a couple of days before you play here!

If you meet these requirements and are still interested please don’t call, send an e mail to peter@mcgrathspub.com
