"BUT I WANT TO USE MY OWN GEAR!!!"
Elbo Room understands that there are musicians that have their own tone/comfort level/branding with their gear. There are several reasons why we ask you to use our backline:
  1. Saves on clutter off stage
  2. Makes set changes quicker
  3. Allows bands to load out before end of night
  4. Makes load in easier/more manageable
  5. Elbo Room uses industry standard gear to help keep professional sound
  6. We want you to be able to drink and have a good time until close and not have to worry about loading out the drums/cabs up a flight of stairs
*** If your gear is ESSENTIAL to your performance, you must make arrangements with BRIAN BENDER 773-549-5549 (M-F 1-7pm) / BRIAN@ELBOROOMCHICAGO.COM to make sure your night runs smoothly and we are able to make set changes quick and easy. ***
