FROM THE MERCH TABLE TO THE GREEN ROOM
Coffee that runs on show time
Corkys is a Detroit coffee roaster built out of record culture. We pour espresso where music happens: club lobbies, festival grounds, record fairs, backstage hallways. And if you want the full Corkys experience, we'll even bring the record shop along: curated crates of vinyl set up right next to the bar, so the coffee line feels like a listening party instead of a queue.
Who we work with
Live Music Venues
Show-night espresso bars for your lobby, and a coffee program for your bar: beans, gear, training, and wholesale pricing that makes sense for a room that runs late.
Touring Artists & Crews
Rider and green room coffee done right. Tour kits that live on the bus, backstage service at load-in, and a pop-up bar at the merch table. Want the full hang? We'll bring the record shop too.
Festivals & Music Businesses
Co-branded pop-ups for festivals, record fairs, labels, studios, and shops. We bring the bar and the baristas, and if the event calls for it, the record shop comes along. You get the line that never stops.
FAQ
The Logistics
-
A staffed espresso bar set up in your lobby or next to the merch table. We pour from doors through the encore, then break down and disappear before the house lights are cold. Add the record shop and we'll set up curated vinyl crates right beside the bar.
-
Corkys is half coffee roaster, half record store, so any booking can add the shop. We pull curated crates for your crowd: new releases, reissues, and staff picks, set up beside the bar with its own card reader and a merch-table-friendly footprint. Check the box on the form and we'll build it into the quote.
-
We're based in Detroit and we route. Tour legs, festival runs, record fairs, one-off shows out of state: send us the dates and the cities and we'll tell you what works.
-
Roughly an 8 by 8 foot footprint, standard power, and access to water. We bring everything else: machine, grinders, bar, baristas, and the records.
-
Yes. Backstage setups, rider fulfillment, and tour kits built to live on a bus. For venues, we can make it a standing program: beans, gear, and training for your bar staff.
-
Depends on the shape: a one-off show, a standing venue program, and a six-week tour leg all price differently. Tell us what you're planning and we'll quote it straight, usually within two business days.
