I believe that there is a Folk Club in Chapel Hill that sponsors house concerts. I may have a contact there. I'll look. I did meet someone on the road once who mentioned this to me. You might look on the web and if there is a concert you could go and hear some music and meet the organizers. You might even play a tune. Make an investment
OK. Here's a little info I found. .http://www.caverntavern.com/index.html
