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.
Other music news can be
found an the now 294 member Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Group
