As a Christian Faith-based venue, we are primarily looking for bands and artists who want to communicate hope and a positive message through their music and art. We normally reserve our stage for Christian artists but will entertain general market bands on a case-by-case basis provided their material and merchandise is generally positive and doesn’t contain profanity, overt sexual references or innuendo; doesn’t glamorize the illicit use of alcohol, drugs and violence and doesn’t directly contradict our core Christian beliefs.
Well-Known or Signed National Bands & Artists
The Murray Hill Theatre has hosted many well-known Christian bands and artists. Please send your tour dates or preferred appearance dates to booking@mhtrocks.com and we will get back to you.
Regional, Unknown or Unsigned National Bands & Artists
If you are located outside of the North Florida/South Georgia area or are more than 90 miles from Jacksonville, you may not have a following here. However, we feel a deep desire to help bands get exposure in this area. Therefore, we book unknown bands with bands who do have significant fan bases here provided we have openings and local support.
Local Bands
If you are in or within 90 miles of Jacksonville, you will need to draw a minimum of 20 paid fans to your show. If not, then you may not be ready to play our venue.
Booking Application Process
We no longer accept booking requests via Facebook, ReverbNation, or email. To streamline the process and ensure we have everything needed to consider your request, all artists and bands must now complete our Online Booking Inquiry Form.
Please be prepared to include:
-
A list of preferred performance dates
-
Links to your website and social media with music samples or videos
-
A brief bio and overview of your music/ministry
We typically book 60–90 days in advance. Due to the volume of inquiries, we are unable to respond to every submission. If we believe there’s a good fit, a team member will reach out to continue the conversation. Your patience is appreciated.
Your Commitment
If you are selected to perform at the Murray Hill Theatre, you must make a solid commitment to promote your show(s) and make every effort to get as many paid fans to your show(s) as possible.
