Non-Traditional Music Venues You Might Have Missed
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. Mine was quite with the explosions of fireworks as I visited folks in Georgetown, Texas. It was a beautiful evening with decent fireworks except one thing bugged me. In the distance, over a loud speaker was some lady singing poor cover tunes at Georgetown's annual Fourth of July celebration. And I was asking myself. Why was that not me?
You know there are literally hundreds of gig opportunities in every community. Austin, probably thousands. Most are never heard of. So last week, I went driving around town with my thinking cap on. Here are some ideas I came up with:
- Country clubs in general
- Hotels
- Borders Bookstore
- Barnes & Nobles
- Trianon Coffee House
- Arboretum Shopping Center (there is a grassy knoll area by some cow statues, near Amy's Ice Cream)
- Starbuck's (Misc. locations, depending on who books acts and who doesn't)
- Gardenridge
- Misc. Benefits (Including Humane Society on Anderson Lane)
- Misc. Wedding Package Organizations (Get them to mention Bards as music)
- Misc. Retirement Communities (i.e. Sun City Georgetown, USAA Towers in San Antonio)
- La Madeline
- Sun Harvest
- Green Pastures (Restaurant)
- Hudson's on the Bend (Upscale Restaurant)
- Texas French Bread (Bakery)
- Half-Price Books (Book Store)
- Scotland's Furniture Store (i.e. Holiday and Sale promotion)
- Grand Openings
- Public Relations Firms
- Private Parties
- Schools (Elementary, High School, College)
- Cruise Lines
