"The newsletter is the first thing I turn to when wanting to know what shows are this week and for looking ahead...and I know i'm not the only one. ;)"
Lee Neitzel (Transmission Fields)
"New edition rocks! Action packed..thanks for all that you guys do!"
Rufus Smith (Support House Concerts)
Thank you to those who have reciprocated links or shown appreciation or have supported me in some way throughout the years. This weekly newsletter not only takes many, many hours to compile, distribute, blog and promote, but also costs a monthly fee. It's become a valuable resource for many, and a treasured promotional tool for others. I started it, (in 2003), as a service to my musician clients and friends who, at the time, had few ways of promoting their shows, or a publication that would have an interest in writing about, or even listing their independent shows. It has grown since then to include much more, but its purpose remains the same - not to be a comprehensive list, but a way to help promote and advertise those artists and venues I'm familiar enough with to personally recommend, and whom I feel may need, and appreciate, what I do.
