AAAAAARGH

Howdy all-knowing mudcatters....I am trying to hook up with other folksters in my area (San Francisco Bay) to form a folky band/group. I've tried cragislist but that's mainly rock/punk/new wave teenagers. What's a singer to do? I am tired of strumming by myself at the local coffee shop....and I'm also sick of being in a pop band where I'm expected to belt everything at the top of my lungs.....
