1860 Schulhaus Venue occupies a restored schoolhouse built by German settlers in New Melle during the 1860s. The all-ages room holds about 90 and hosts music on selected Friday nights, with acoustic and other genres considered. It primarily operates as a rental facility. Artists and organizers should confirm the booking route, rental terms, PA, monitoring, backline, technical staffing, stage dimensions, set times, and compensation before announcing a date. The historic setting and compact capacity favor a production that respects the room rather than trying to overpower it. A useful proposal should identify the intended audience, practical equipment footprint, and preferred Friday dates; old schoolhouses have survived enough without being asked to accommodate an arena rig.

Venue review
The musician's read
Stooges Restaurant is a Thursday-only original-music room with a full sound system, $100 pay, and food and drinks included. The source is admirably direct: original music only. This is a small but real opportunity for a band that can make a weeknight restaurant crowd listen without asking it to abandon the wings. Call or use Facebook with a live clip, lineup, dates, genre, draw, and a concise technical note. Confirm exactly what the full house system includes—PA, monitors, mics, engineer, stage placement, soundcheck, set length, payment timing, food, drinks, merch, and promotion. One hundred dollars and hospitality is not a festival guarantee, but it is a concrete local-room deal. Treat it with enough professionalism to make repeat invitations possible. The public feedback highlights relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, friendly service, burgers, wings, and good food. That means the show should arrive with immediate songs, controlled volume, and enough good humor to work around dinner. Rock, indie, roots, folk, soul, blues, alternative, and original bands with actual hooks can all fit. The key is not being “original” in the sense of making everyone nervously examine the exit signs. Stooges suits original artists who can play a focused Thursday set and understand a restaurant-room audience. Bring the strongest live clip, use the house sound well, and make the $100 night feel like the start of a local relationship rather than a random stop.
