The ramblings of your author, apologies in advance.
As part of my writing, I maintain an Event Calendar of all the live music that I find. As I see new shows, I update it with band info, venue details, & more.
It’s not quite ready to go live yet, still testing out some of the kinks but if you do upgrade you will get access to it with the basic support tiers, at $3/mo or $25/yr.
Look for it to be live by mid to end of April!
