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 at aol dot 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 more people will be able to see it.
NOTE: PLEASE CALL AHEAD TO CONFIRM THESE SHOWS and ticket availability. DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS, MANY SHOWS ARE BEING CANCELLED OR POSTPONED. I'll indicate that where known, but please call for last minute info!!
