Favorite Accoustic bar/cafe? Hey Monkeys! So it's mid-july already, which means it's time for musicians such as myself to start booking October and later. Which, as it turns out, is when I plan to begin my 2nd annual winter music tour.

I'm looking for places to stop and play along the way, maybe you've got some ideas, eh? Here's a rough idea of where I'm bound: the Carolinas and NW GA in October (LEAF festival in mid October!), from coastal GA through FL in November, then west through the delta -- last year I breezed through AL, MS, and TN. Then towns like Flagstaff and Tucson AZ, Durango CO, thence anywhere along the west coast. The time/space probability cloud gets larger quickly with dates after January 1. So what's my music like? 20's swing, jug band, blues, originals. Rather than self-link, follow the one in my profile. See you out there!

  • Suggestion: Fix the "home page" link in your profile.
  • I'd contact 12 Galaxies in San Francisco. You might not be big enough to headline, but there might be a bill on which you'd make a good opening act.
  • This may not be what you're looking for, but there are a couple of churches in Little Rock that have acoustic music shows once a month or so -- secular, touring musicians, laid-back churches, pretty good crowds from what I understand. Second Presbyterian and Second Baptist.
  • You could play in a pool hall - I think they've got a cou stic or two.
  • Come to Vancouver, BC and hit the Railway club sounds like the venue for you.
  • Yeah, you should come to the Conor Byrne in Seattle, Wa. I like the recordings that I found- how may are in the band?
  • McGonigel's Mucky Duck in Houston, Texas. Or see if you can open for the Asylum Street Spankers on their tour (or just look where they're playing and call those clubs).
  • yes! thankyou for the venues, more, more! I bookmarked this thread so I can ref it as I ramble. And thanks to the monkeys who left me nice notes last year while I was out and about. How many in the band? Well, that depends. I've got a solo project, and then there's the hogtown stompers (4-5 piece jug band), and the daves (3 piece string band that gets more raucous than jug, sometimes electric)
