Musical Possibilities

Ah, so many bands...so little fundage!

That being said, I do have grandiose plans. The idea will be to get two artists to play that weekend. The first would probably be someone most of you have never heard of, but whom I like. That would be a smaller, probably solo acoustic, show at my house. Some of the artists I like specialize in these types of "living room" shows for 15-30 people. That would be planned for Friday night as a little treat for those who want to get the party started early. As to who this artist could be, well, the possibilities are pretty wide open. The indie power pop music I listen to regularly is filled with people who will pretty much "sing for food, lodging & transportation." I'm sure there will be a additional fee of course, but it won't be much.

The second night, Saturday, will be the more involved. That will take place at a larger venue, and I'd like to have a full band. Now, there is lots of stuff I like that could fit the bill here. Thoughts have included roots rock giant Webb Wilder, pop/polka sensations Brave Combo, and (a suggestion from my buddy Mark) a Beatlemania-ish outfit. Now, I'm open to other ideas, and I have yet to find out how much getting whole bands up here will put me back, but I'm thinking it should be doable. What we are looking for is a good/great/fantastic party band.

Well, that is where my thinking has taken me so far.
