Thread Name: Finding singarounds in the US
Subject: Finding singarounds in the US
Okay, I tried searching on this in the knowledge base, and maybe I'm just not smart enough to find the right keywords. I hope you all can help...
I'm really jealous now of those UK 'Catters who live where there seem to be constant song circles, swaps, sessions, whatever... I'd really like to check out that kind of activity and I CAN'T FIND A BLINKIN' THING near me.
Here in the Upstate of SC, USA, there is a lot of musical activity, but all I can find is (1) open mike sessions that are strictly for singer-songwriters with new material, (2) instrumental only jam sessions, and (3) even what is billed as "folk sessions" is strictly paid gigs for known performers. I'm a little far from the Blowing Rock/Valle Crucis area (known for folk arts and music), but I could go that far once in a while if I had to.
Can anyone help me find some like minded Appalachian/Celtic trad-heads in the area?
Thanks!
