Book a Show at David's 105
David's 105 Listening Room is an intimate live music venue in Downtown Monroe, GA, 22 minutes from Athens. We book local and touring artists across a wide range of genres for an audience that comes to actually listen.
Who We Book
We're looking for music that fits an attentive listening-room setting. That includes a wide range of genres, but the common thread is that the music holds up to focused, undistracted listening.
Genres we book regularly:
Singer-songwriter
Americana, folk, and country
Bluegrass and jamgrass
Blues, soul, and R&B
Indie and acoustic rock
Jazz
Formats that fit:
Solo artists
Duos and trios
Full bands
If you're not sure whether your music fits, the safest move is to submit and let us decide. We'd rather see something unexpected than miss someone good.
The Room
Capacity: 90 seated, up to 110 mixed seating
Layout: Tables and chairs facing the stage; clear sightlines from every seat
Audience: People who buy tickets to listen, not background-music crowds
Vibe: Intimate, focused, every seat is a good seat
Tech & Production
We provide a full professional PA system, mics, cables, amps, and stage lighting, with an on-site sound and lighting tech for every show. Most artists prefer to bring their own instruments, but if you'd rather travel light, ask and we'll let you know what we have on hand. Specific tech requests are welcome. Mention them in your submission and we'll confirm what's possible.
How to Submit
We review submissions as our calendar allows. If your music feels like a fit for the room, we'll reach out to talk dates.

Food, Bar, & Hospitality
David's 105 shares its building with Arcane Table, the bar and restaurant adjoining the listening room. Full food and bar service is available to the audience during shows, with servers taking orders at each seat so the room stays focused on the music.
We’ll discuss artist hospitality when we respond to your request.
