Title
Acoustic Philly Live - A Philadelphia Music Cooperative
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- ACOUSTIC PHILLY is a new cooperative of acoustic, folk and indie performers who play in the bars, lounges, clubs, cafes and open mikes of the Philadelphia area. The clubs supporting the initiative are Lickety Split, The Dive, The Fire, The Raven Lounge, Azure, Fergie's Pub, Ground Floor, The El Bar, Dawson Street Pub, New Deck Tavern, Dowling's Palace, Crazy Fish Saloon, World Cafe Live, Richie's Bar & Grill, Grape Street, MilkBoy, Stevenson's, Rocket Cat Cafe, Kaffa Crossing, Cedar Hollow Inn, KC's Alley, Club 218, Abilene, Five Spot, The Coffee Club and other venues. The mission of the group is to a) present talents in showcases at participating venues; and, b) promote these acts via all available means: over the Internet, by issuing "plugs" at shows, via printed media and by simply initiating more interaction between performers and clubs in the movement to promote acoustic music in the region as a genre that is on the threshold of a boom. Moreover, participants throw bones to performers as much as we can (knowledge of clubs who need acoustic acts). Much of our outreach occurs at the lounges, The Lickety Split and The Dive, The Fire, The Ground Floor and Azure, hives of acoustic performers in the city. We promote musicians on AcousticPhilly.com, a new Web Site. Moreover, mass e-mailings and all other marketing resources are incorporated to bring acoustic music up a notch in Philly. There is no reason why Philly should ever be considered a "stopover city" or a "second city" by any musician.
