Waiting Game

Hello All

It's yet another beautiful Tuesday Summer day. I have spent all morning waiting on a handful of callbacks from local venues about show dates. Those famous words 'I'll get right back with you' are becoming the stinging in my ears that just makes me want to scream.

I know times are tough for lots of venues across the USA. I understand that I really do. What I don't understand is not letting local acts at least play at your venue.

The calander at most local venues here are full of bands from everywhere else but here. Bands that I have never heard of either. I don't know if venues think the local scene is so bad it's better to bring in unheaqrd of out of town bands then let anyone from here play. I'm just not at this point.

Going to be contacting some locals we know and see what they think is up. Not sure that they know either. Not sure if anyone in this town knows really.

Oh well, so goes another day in the music business. Playing the waiting game.
