About
Cafe Gravity has been one of Calgary's most beloved listening rooms for over 14 years — a place where the coffee is serious and the music is even more so. We've hosted more than 3,500 shows and we're not slowing down.
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday — Emerging Artist Nights These evenings are built for artists finding their footing. If you want a real stage with a real audience to shake off the nerves or stretch your sound, this is your spot. Entry is free for the audience, and a tip bucket is provided. Shows run 6:30–8:30pm.
Friday & Saturday — Showcase Nights These nights are reserved for artists ready to headline. We're looking for acts that can draw a room. Duos, trios, and bands get preference over solo singer/songwriters. Ticket pricing is set by you, the artist. Reservations are recommended for the audience. Shows run 6:30–8:30pm.
Sundays — Weekly Jazz Jam Every Sunday afternoon, local jazz luminaries John McRory and Brian Niblock take the stage from 2:00–4:30pm. The first hour features special guests hand-picked by John and Brian, before the floor opens up to any musician who wants to sit in and play with the house band. It's loose, it's warm, and it's one of Calgary's best kept Sunday secrets. Entry is free and donations are gratefully accepted. Gravity sponsors this jam money collected from sales of our coffee bags.
Artist of the Month Each month we shine a spotlight on one artist from our community. Our Artist of the Month gets their own branded coffee bag in our online store — their name, their story, front and centre on every bag we sell. They receive $10 from every bag sold, plus $200 to headline an end-of-month showcase where they also get to set their own cover charge. It's our way of putting artists in front of an audience that extends well beyond our four walls. Just turn up and have fun!
Coffee Funds the Music
Every bag of coffee we roast goes toward supporting the artists who play here. A portion of every sale flows directly back to our musicians. It's our mission. And it's simple, the more coffee we sell, the more artists we seek out, book, and pay. Every coffee bag sale counts.

Description
Stage
Stage
Our stage sits elevated at one end of the café, and it's built for real performances. It comfortably fits five artists — squeeze in a few more depending on your setup and you can get up to seven. We've made it work and it's always a ton of fun.
Room
The room is rectangular with the stage at one end, meaning every seat in the house has a clear sightline. It's an intimate space that holds 55 people
