Tampa Bay Area

[BuddaBill]

Hello all...
This is my first post here although I've been a lurker for about a year. I've recently relocated to the Tampa Bay area from Lexington, Ky. I thought I would call upon you fine folks to send me in the right direction to open mics, song circles, acoustic jams, etc.

Also as a shameless act of self promotion...I'll be playing at Bringe Music Store in St. Pete on Sat., Sept. 2nd from 3PM to 4PM:)
Come by if you're looking for someone to jam with and want to see if I'm worth the time. For more info email me at buddabill77@yahoo.com
Peace
BuddaBill

Ka-Tiki out on St Pete beach does an open mic, I believe on Thursdays. Go early, since you're not known. I went & did it once w/ my picking bud that lives in that area. They sort of organize the players, depending on who shows ... then the last act will be a known group that actually gets paid to perform on occasion :) Well worth staying for the whole evening ... since it's residential & outside, the music wraps at 11pm.

The gig is run by one of the guys that does a folk / acoustic show on 88.5 WMNF. Also, check out their morning show (6-10am I believe), some great stuff there... http://www.wmnf.org/

There are other jams & picking going on, but I'm not over there often enough to know about them... matter of fact I'm overdue for a trip over there. Lots of good to amazing pickers on that side of the state...

Thanks for the Ka-Tiki tip. I'll look into that.
Stratokatsu- whereabouts are you from? (and what do you do about basketball season?)
