| general info |
|
|
- The Parish at House of Blues is a 400 capacity venue immediately adjacent to the House of Blues club and restaurant. The goal of this venue will be to offer many artists and their audience a more intimate experience than can be accomplished in the 1000 capacity main room. Although this is a smaller room, the production value will be maintained at a level that House of Blues has become known for. Any special needs should be addressed as soon as possible after reviewing this information.
- A few observations on this room: We are surely aware that you have heard this before, but this is a very small room with low ceilings and a very “live” feel. The sound system in this room is more than adequate for this room and, in fact, was the FOH system in our L.A. club, 1200 capacity, for years. There are no sidefills, sorry. If your band is really loud, then you know what you are dealing with here. We will do everything possible to assist you to have a great show, but the room and stage are what they are!
|
| dressing rooms |
|
|
- There is one dressing room for The Parish venue located on the 1st floor of the building. Access is via an elevator in the 2nd floor kitchen located behind the stage. This is a restricted access area and we will ask that you please limit backstage access to only necessary band and crew.
|
| catering and meals |
|
|
- All catering and meals are "in-house". We do not do buy-outs. Meals will be via HOB restaurant meal tickets or buffet, depending on the size of the entourage.
- Please try to have any food orders placed before 10:30 pm. HOB will try to honor any "reasonable" request.
- Please do not assume that because it is "in the rider" that it will be "in the dressing room"!
- Please advance your needs with production manager.
- HOB will provide an experienced server in the dressing room area to assist with hospitality needs. Please take care of this person as he/she is there to help take care of you. Tip your server!
|

- Parking in the French Quarter area is also restricted by local ordinance. Parking in front of HOB will only be allowed after consulting with HOB production mgr.
