Not
everything is posted on the calendar as it's musician/venue optional to
post, and amend the listings as needed. However there's
more info on the calendar including links to the venue web
sites such as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's, The Elmdale and Bass Line Station
that 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.
