Thread Name: Are folk clubs serving a purpose
Subject: RE: BS: Are folk clubs serving a purpose
Living in a large county, with lots of rural space in between towns, I'm thankful for SLOFolks, San Luis Obispo CA's folk club. Cleverly, they have arranged 3 night venues for each act they book, and in this way the musician(s) come away with far more $ for their travel. It helps that the county is halfway between LA and SF, so we've had great performers like Pat Donahue and Michael Smith on tap. This weekend it's Druha Trava, a BlueGrassPLUS band from Czech Rebublic, and Ed Gerhard is coming in October. Both have appeared here many times. To be able to see in person such stellar performers within 20 mi. of Rancho de Nada, my home which is seemingly miles from anywhere, is an incredible treat.
