Philly says goodbye to an Icon. Rest Easy my friend. The Geator with the Heater #PhiladelphiaMusic #Icon #RIP (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnr0AOaOPZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
As I send the customary messages around to book out-of-town shows, another sign of my age becomes apparent: so many of my usual contacts are now family people, “retired” from music, moved away or- even worse- passed away.
It’s true that it used to be a lot easier to book shows away from home without the aid of a booking agent. And it’s not just because I’m older. I think people were genuinely happier to hear from musical strangers before our lives became saturated with social media correspondences. This also reminds me of how much I miss letter-writing, pen pals, and the likes. Nobody writes back any more.
All of that said, I still have to say that I love doing this. I love playing, meeting new people, and all of the satelliting chores that surround it all. I love it more than I did 15 years ago- but maybe I understand myself and what I’m doing a lot more in my advanced years that helps a lot of other things fall into place.
I am currently looking for shows in Athens OH, Columbus OH, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Any and all helps and suggestions are always appreciated.

The Right Tool for the Job - Musician Referral Services, Talent Buyers, and How Best to Utilize Them. https://greenroom.gigroster.com/right-tool-for-the-job For decades, these have gone by the name of “Musician Referral Services,” and exist with the intention of providing networks to bring two sides together. Bands can find replacement or on-call players, players can find bands who need their specific talents, and such similar situations that generally assist musicians seeking other musicians for performances. . . . . . . . . . . #findmusicians #musicianreferral #musicians #seattlemusicians #portlandmusicians #sanfranciscomusicians #lamusician #sandiegomusicians ##newyorkmusicians #bostonmusicians #chicagomusicians #miamimusicians #denvermusicians #houstonmusicscene #dallasmusicscene #austinmusicscene #minneapolismusicscene #washingtondcmusic #pittsburghmusic #philadelphiamusic https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kCTYrAlMC/?igshid=bhrblecmz0it
