We receive many inquiries from musicians who would like to play at Crossroads and we are always happy to review new music.
You should be aware that there is some music we won't play and so there's little point in submitting your stuff to Crossroads if you don't think you'll fit into one of our many formats. We don't play mainstream rock, rap, hip-hop or punk band music. It's too loud for our customers and our merchants.
We specialize in music that makes our customers happy and divide our programming between Jazz/Blues, Folk, and World Music. Our most successful shows are geared to listeners aged 25+ and specialty audiences, e.g. Bluegrass, Celtic, Music of Africa, Folk, Delta Blues, Brazilian, Latin, Straight-ahead Jazz, Old-time Folk, Reggae, R&B, Vintage Jazz, etc.
The first Saturday of each month is a Big Band Dance that has become very popular.
We suggest you take a look at our music program schedule on our website to get an idea about the kinds of groups that play at Crossroads.
Crossroads has been presenting FREE LIVE music to appreciative
Eastside audiences since 1990.
It's a unique venue...a shopping center with a very successful music program!
Currently we have two music programs:
- Every Friday and Saturday night from 7:30 - 10 PM, we present
Late Night in the Market. - On the 1st Thursday of each month from 6-9 PM,

at Crossroads. - On the 2nd, 3rd, 4th (& 5th) Thursday of each month, we present
The Singer-Songwriter Showcase from 6:30 - 8 PM.
We provide excellent sound system and sound technician for these performances.
(*It's an acoustic music Open Mike, open to all musicians. You'll be provided with an excellent sound technician, a piano and a very supportive family-friendly audience.
