Mémère's is providence bistro and cocktail bar that periodically features live piano in an intimate dining and lounge setting. The programming spans Piano, lounge, and acoustic, giving artists a useful sense of what already works in the room. Intimate bistro/lounge with periodic live piano rather than a full-band production setup. The useful skill here is reading the room: musicians need enough presence to be a reason to stay without fighting the food-and-drink side of the business. The room has more value when the performer can turn a social crowd into listeners without disrupting the atmosphere.
