Originally, we were touring the country to find venues for our clients. Now, with hundreds of venues in our database and dozens (and dozens) of data-points on each one, we want to provide an outlet to share our knowledge with the world. And, ya' know, it gets lonely on the road, so we started this blog to (virtually) bring others with us discovering venues in major cities, the burbs, small piss-ant towns, and, really, anywhere.
We focus on venues under 500 seats, which is great because sometimes these places showcase emerging talent and other times they surprise us with a star wanting to chill out in a more intimate environment. We would rather see the performers' facial expressions than try to catch a glimpse on a video screen from nose-bleeds seats. And besides, in our experience, the singers and musicians who play smaller rooms are simply more real in general. Just our opinion, of course, but even if it's an illusion, it's a darn satisfying one.
