Yup. Drop me a line. I help book a Friday series for songwriters and small acts along these lines. It's in a tiny place, and there's no money (free coffee though). If nothing else, you can certainly have a show there. We're booking February right now.

Here are two pretty cool all-ages booking entities in town.

The Green Room at the Showbox is a cool place to play, as is the Liquid Lounge at EMP.

Chop Suey has a very cool booker, but I haven't played there yet (February 5th).

The Sunset Tavern is a fun place to play. They book solo acts sometimes.

The Tractor Tavern is a nice joint. They book a lot of folk/alt country stuff, but Mark Kozelek and Neil Haltead have played there.

Soo... yeah. e-mail me or something.

hi,
sorry this message isn't so much idaho oriented,
though i have been a fan since '94.
i am looking for places to play in the northwest, for now.
the band is Guilford and if it helps, jack rabid gave it a review in "The Big Takeover" #50.
it's number 35 of the "top 40", which yes, was a pleasant surprise.
i'm thinking acoustic shows and any help would be appreciated greatly.
thanks.
