Thank you for your interest in playing at the Urban Press Winery & Restaurant in Burbank, CA!
The Urban Press Winery & Restaurant is an upscale, intimate performance venue located in the heart of Burbank, with the capacity to showcase solo and duo artists and small groups (4-5 musicians including singers). The restaurant has a delicious menu, specializing in Italian cuisine, created by its world-renowned, award-winning chef, and features a wide array of our own wines.
We feature live music three nights a week and Sunday afternoons. Thursdays are solo acoustic or duo shows, Fridays and Saturdays we are host to a variety of contemporary bands ranging from R&B to Top 40, Soul, Jazz & Soft Rock, and we have Jazz Brunch on Sunday afternoons.
Our vibe is mellow, and acts with good local followings are preferred.
We have a small sound system; a soundboard (located by the bar) and speakers. We also have a small house drum kit which we prefer bands use, but no other backline. Performers bring their own amps for keyboards, electric guitars, and bass, and also bring mics & stands, and extra cables as needed. Since the room is not large, monitors are usually not needed, but may be brought in by the artist.
A few things to be aware of:
-
Performers are expected to promote their shows -- which includes posting and sharing on all social media platforms -- and bring at least 20 guests.
-
We do not sell tickets to our shows, but a $10 entertainment fee is added to each patron’s tab (excluding Thursdays).
-
There is a $25 food & beverage minimum per guest.
-
Guests are expected to make advanced table reservations, and they may receive a free wine tasting (excluding Thursdays).
-
There is a free parking structure around the corner. Enter on Palm Ave., then walk to alley.

If you have not been to the Urban Press Winery & Restaurant, we suggest that you come by on a night when there is live music to get feel for the venue, the vibe, and the acoustics.
