ACOUSTIC FOLK/ROOTS/BLUEGRASS MUSIC CALENDAR

FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

compiled by Mary Katherine Aldin 

This calendar is provided as a completely free service. The listings are free (there is no charge to list a show) and there is no charge to access these listings. If you have items which you wish to submit for consideration for inclusion, please send them to me at mkaldin@aol.com. While there is no deadline per se since the calendar is updated regularly, sooner is always better than later; the sooner you get the listings to me, the longer time they will spend "up" on the calendar and the larger the number of potential attendees that will see them.  Please include as many details as possible, including the name of the artist or group, the name and full address of the venue (including the city, please!), and a telephone number that the public can call for  more information. Thanks! ~~~Mary Katherine
