Rock the Pink

Breast cancer is by far the most common case of cancer in women worldwide. Every October, several people and organizations pay tribute to those affected by breast cancer by wearing pink. Some even donate to breast cancer research centers to help fund the search for the cure. This week, we would like to do our part in spreading awareness of this terrible disease.

One way Josh's House has contributed to the cause is by supplying music for a breast cancer commercial to a local gift shop. Last week, Bridgeport Gifts and Apparel of Chippewa Valley Technical College produced a commercial as a way to spread awareness of the way breast cancer has affected loved ones worldwide. Our finest musicians at Josh's House lovingly produced the music upon the request of the shop. Ordinarily, one minute of music for a commercial would cost $250, but it was our obvious decision to donate the song at no charge as our donation to the cause.

We have also partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation this week. For every purchase over $3 at our snack and beverage bar, we will donate $1 to the foundation. In addition, you will have the option to sign your name (or an affected loved one's name) on a pink ribbon to be posted in the windows of your lounge for the rest of the month of October.

     Greetings again from the House. At our lounge, we provide more to our musicians than a mug of coffee and a soft leather couch. Our staff at Josh's House are sure to provide you with the necessary tools to push your musicianship to the next level.

     One of those tools are convenient sound recording rooms for rent for only $20/hour of use. Keep in mind that these rooms are for up to two people. You also are in charge of mixing your own audio. Any audio created is not confined to our label. Please be sure to reserve a room at 24 hours in advance as availability may vary.

Our rates are the same for all instruments at $25/hour of private lessons.  Interested in sharing your expertise? We are always looking for teachers in need of some extra income.

     If you need of a space to practice with the band, be sure to reserve a date and time in our practice room.  This space is 30' x 36' long, about half the size of a tennis court.  Also included in the space is a baby grand piano and a studio drum set.  We even provide complimentary lockers for your gear, just bring your own lock.  The cost is $8 per hour of use.

     If you desire exposure for your music, we host open mic nights every Tuesday night at 8:00pm. Performance times are determined at a first come-first serve basis.  Voting will take place for the favorite act of the night, who will receive $50 in prize money.
