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.
