**I'm currently involved with an exciting new project with some great people.  Get in on the ground floor level of Showmo Live!, Charlotte's newest social network platform, connecting fans, bands and venues in one location. 
" LIKE" our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/ShomoLive-Charlotte/300475536644932 and visit our website for a chance to win some great prizes! http://www.shomolive.com/

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 us 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.
