At The Shelf Concert, we’re redefining live music experiences—stripped-down, intimate, and purely about the music. If you’re an artist looking for a unique performance opportunity, this is your stage.

​

1. The Experience

Playing at The Shelf Concert is unlike any other gig. It’s a space where your music takes center stage, without distractions. Our audience comes for the raw, authentic experience, and we ensure that every artist gets the perfect setup to bring their sound to life.

This is more than just a live show—it’s an opportunity to connect deeply with an audience that truly listens and appreciates live, unfiltered music.

​

2. The Setup

We take care of everything so you can focus on your performance.

• Our in-house sound engineer will work with you to ensure the best possible live sound and recording.

• We provide essential gear—mics, stands, DI boxes, amps, an electric keyboard, and a basic drum kit.

• If you have specific instruments or gear you prefer, you’re welcome to bring them.

From setup to soundcheck, we make sure you sound your best both live and in the final recording.

​

3. The Recording

We don’t just host live shows—we capture them. Every Shelf Concert is recorded and produced in the stripped-down style of NPR’s Tiny Desk, ensuring a well-produced video that showcases your artistry.

• You will receive the final edited video to share and use for any purpose.

• While we retain the copyright, we provide free usage rights so you can promote yourself however you’d like.

• It’s a professionally produced piece that can help elevate your portfolio, pitch to festivals, and grow your audience.

Think of it as a free professional music video—with an engaged audience, a unique setting, and a raw, authentic vibe.

​

4. The Perks

We believe artists perform their best when they feel at home. That’s why we provide:

• Complimentary food and drinks—because you should be comfortable and fueled.

• A respectful, engaged audience—people here aren’t just background noise; they’re here for the music.

• A growing platform—with over 21K+ followers from Hestia's social media accounts, we’re creating a movement around pure, live music in Vancouver.

This is an opportunity to showcase your talent, gain exposure, and walk away with a professional live recording—all in an environment built for artists.
