I only highlight a small number of events that are
posted to the calendar.
Nowhere near everything is posted on the
calendar as it's musician/venue
optional to
post, and amend the listings as needed. However
more info can be found
on the calendar including links
to such venue web sites as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's,
The Elmdale and
Bass Line Station that usually have more detailed schedules.
It's also
a good idea to call a venue to confirm that regular listings still
apply
as they sometimes just quietly go away or may be cancelled due to
weather disruptions.
First, check the calendar for more
