This free local monthly guide to (traditional and original) live acoustic roots music is assembled by Larry Bruner and Wanda Finley, with various venue schedules collected by guitarist Joe Rollin Porter; Lake County and beyond from Ed Ollick; dance details by Heidi Nemeth; THANKS EVERYONE! These pages of selected calendar items are incomplete, only a start. We urge you to support the growing number of other local events which also feature live acoustic roots music. We also are reminded these are future items subject to change.

Legend 3”x3” pictures are cover art of a brand new CD from the artist

outdoor music event = seating may or may not be provided

house/small hall concert = an informal, up close and personal listening often in someone’s home by invitation

dance opportunity = contra, English country, swing, polka

participatory event = open mike (take turns), jam (play with others), community sing

Asterisks * = Some of these once-recurring events no longer exist. Your persistent feedback is essential. We need your help - - please, let us know corrections by email. ** = At “all ages” Beachland, Grog Shop and Musica shows, an additional $2 fee will be charged at the door for patrons younger than the age of 21. *** = A Wilbert’s show that is “Free admission, pay as you go” no door charge: when the basket is passed, or when you leave, pay what you think the music deserves.
