Artists and Bands

Now here's a radical idea.... if you are going out of town on business or vacation, check on some of these links and see who's playing where... maybe you can get to see some neat bands or artists while "on the road". (Here's a handy link for checking up on folk music concerts, even just by the city name: http://www.musi-cal.com )
