The Fallout Shelter is not your ordinary venue. We are a professional video recording studio that is set up like a 1940’s nightclub with room for an 80 person audience. It’s a pretty unique experience that you are unlikely to forget. As one of our recent performers described us: “a wonderful intimate setting, amazing sound, and all the vibes one could want in a live music experience.”
We’re located in back of the White Dog Vintage Store in the WinSmith Mills at the Norwood Commerce Center. The address is 61 Endicott St, Norwood Ma 02062. There’s plenty of free parking.
Our doors open at 6pm, the music/filming starts promptly at 7pm and that’s followed by an interview of the band. Things generally wrap up between 9 & 9:30. The ticket price includes a light buffet and a souvenir concert poster. There’s also a wine & beer bar available for your drinking pleasure.
Email [email protected] if you have any questions or want to be included on our mailing list. Our full schedule and tickets can be found at Grcpac.yapsody.com.
