Fontana's Cafe is a venue with its own particular weather system. The directory describes it as follows: "Fontana's Cafe is an Italian-American restaurant in the heart of Irwin, recognized by many awards and magazines for outstanding steak, seafood and pasta." They host live music every Friday and Saturday night from 9 PM to midnight. For artists, the useful part is not inventing a mythology for the room.

Consider the crowd, the time slot, and the venue’s basic reason for existing, then build a set that makes the night better rather than merely louder. Get to the first real song quickly, give the energy somewhere to go, and let the performance have a sense of humor. Every room has its own internal bureaucracy; the songs are still allowed to win. Confirm booking process, production, house engineer, PA, inputs, microphones, monitors, backline, power, stage or floor position, load-in, parking, soundcheck, set times, breaks, curfew, food, hospitality, ticketing, merchandise, payment, and settlement before signing up.
