Folks;
Is there a site you would recommend for finding out what tours and concerts are coming through wherever one happens to live (in the states) of the sort of music we like here? There are so many small groups and individuals in the acoustic trads that don't get advertised very widely, and word-of-mouth is limited....

Assuming you are in the US. Probably the best source is the Dirty Linen Gig Guide. You can view by artist or by state.

I'm going to the Fargo Winter Blues fest, next week-end. Feb.8th.
It's a small show in a place called Playmakers in Fargo North Dakota.
The line up in small also, but good! From 4-6 Two local bands- The Warped Melon Blues Band, and Cold Front. (good friends of mine)
At 6:00-Reverend Raven and the Chain Smokin' Alter Boys With Madison Slim on the harp.
8:00-Eddie Shaw and the Wolfgang. (these guys were back up band for Howlin' Wolf)
And at 10:00 until ?- Canned Heat! And we all know who they are!
I am very much looking forward to going, and I know without a doubt, I will be dancing the night away!
Peace, Rustic

Bulletin to all mudcatters: there is a really big annotated calendar of festivals that looks really useful: bookmark it!

I'm sorry. I was trying to point out FESTIVALS which are different from TOURS. So sorry.

Thanks for the links. I would love to go to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest. I always thought it was held later in the year but now I know it's end of April. Thanks Many good things going on out there.
Peace. Rustic

Thanks for the help, guys!

Any word-of-mouth on concerts/tours/festivals on the east coast coming up would be welcome.
