Broken Hearts is a 459-capacity Chicago room built around the holy trinity of live music, cold beer, and a 21+ door. Country and Western acts are the clearest fit, with Friday and Saturday nights forming the regular performance window. Booking inquiries go by email, and the venue provides both a sound system and a sound technician, saving artists from hauling an entire control room through the door. Bands should still confirm inputs, monitoring, set length, load-in timing, and any promotion or settlement terms before locking the date. The talent buyer handles show inquiries, so a concise pitch with strong music links and realistic availability will serve better than a sprawling autobiography.
