How to Successfully Book a Show at Shamrock Irons Irish Pub
A simple guide for musicians
Welcome to Shamrock Irons Irish Pub! We love hosting live music and working with artists to create memorable nights for both performers and guests.
To keep things running smoothly—and to make sure your show gets the promotion it deserves—we’ve put together this straightforward guide. Following these steps helps us help you.
Step 1: Complete the Artist Booking Form (Required)
To confirm any booking, all artists must submit our Artist Booking Form with complete and accurate information.
👉 Booking Form:
https://www.shamrockirons.com/artist-booking
Please note:
If you’ve never played here before, this form is required.
If you have played here but never filled out this specific form, please submit it now.
If your band info has changed, submit an updated form.
Multiple bands?
If you perform in more than one band, each band must submit its own form.
Payment info matters:
We pay all artists via Venmo, so please double-check that your Venmo handle is correct to avoid delays.
Step 2: Upload the Right Promo Photo (Very Important)
The promo image you submit through the form is what we use for:
Our website
In-house posters
Social posts
Local music listings
Photo requirements:
A clean band promo photo or high-quality live performance shot
Band name or logo is fine
❌ No dates, venues, sponsors, or extra text
Clean images help us promote your show professionally across all platforms.
Step 3: Mind the Promotion Deadline
To ensure your show appears everywhere it should—including our website, in-house posters, and local music outlets—we need your information by:
🗓 Two (2) weeks before the first day of the month you’re playing
Some outlets (like Mountain Xpress) require significant lead time, so late submissions may limit promotion.
Step 4: Create the Facebook Event (Artist Responsibility)
Artists are responsible for creating the official Facebook Event for their show.
Before You Create the Event:
Please follow us on both platforms so we can co-host and tag properly:
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shamrockirons/
Facebook Event Requirements:
Create the Facebook Event
Use a 1920 x 1080 graphic (details below)
Add Shamrock Irons Irish Pub as a co-host
Include a short BIO and clearly list your genre
Example:
Genre: Americana / Indie Folk
Join us for a night of heartfelt storytelling and energetic rhythms, blending old-school bluegrass with modern rock.
After You Send the Co-Host Invite:
Do not edit the event further
Message our Facebook page to confirm the co-host request has been sent
Once accepted, we handle the event details and accuracy. Your role from there is to share the event with your audience.
Step 5: Facebook Event Flyer Specs (Important)
This flyer is ONLY for the Facebook Event you create.
Required Specs:
Size: 1920 x 1080 pixels
Format: PNG or JPG
Must include ALL of the following:
Band promo photo or image
Date & time
Shamrock Irons logo
Band logo or readable band name
❌ No third-party logos, sponsors, or other venue names.
