The Skylark's Official Pandemic Response Plan is to attempt to be open for business, while simultaneously taking steps to ensure the safety of all Performers and Patrons. Please take the Pandemic seriously and make recreation with care.

The Skylark asks that you do NOT play another show a week before or a week after your show at The Skylark. If you have a date scheduled in this window, you must inform your producer (usually The Skylark) prior to the show.

When acts are changing, the intent is to minimize the amount of time it takes for set change. Bring your gear to the storage area prior to breaking it down. Help the next act bring their gear on stage prior to breaking down your gear.

Each act is entitled to a 45 minute standard set. If your set is longer or shorter, you must advise the Sound Engineer and the Producer (The Skylark) prior to the show. Set timing is to allow for both a prime-time show as well as to adhere to local noise ordinances.

Your Sound Engineer will be at The Skylark at least 60 minutes prior to the show. By the time the Sound Engineer arrives, you should be loaded-in and ready for sound check. The first act will perform the sound check and the following acts will receive interim checks throughout the night. You should already be here since you arrived 90 minutes before showtime for load-in.

Bands can load-in 90 minutes before show time. Please check in with the Sound Engineer or Bartender upon arrival - you will be instructed where to store your gear. If you are the first act, load-in on stage directly. Second-act and beyond have a dedicated storage space.

Each Human who performs at The Skylark will receive one (1) drink ticket and is entitled to a nice discount for any dinner or menu items ordered.

Bands earn more as more people attend the show. The first requirement from the show is to meet the Sound Engineering budget for the night. After that, the pot is split between the venue and the performers

The default cover charge for The Skylark is $10 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and $8 on Sunday. We can pre-sale tickets for the show using our website. This may increase the pre-sale price.
