The Guide’s NEWS FEATURES, reviews, etc: Catalogue for the past six months

.
.
There’s a little urgency this time for our semi-annual access tool. Recent editions of the Guide have brought numerous and frequent NEWS FEATURE STORIES, and many of those appear in editions that cover events for just a single day. Looking at the site’s metrics, it’s obvious a lot of regular readers have missed things. In case you’ve missed any of the news, this reference tool with its handy urls (web addresses) will make it easy to access everything.

Listed from most recent edition with News Features to the ones farthest back with News Features, here are the titles of each NEWS FEATURE story, the dates of the editions in which each ran, and the urls to get there. Enjoy!

The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS and views of interest to artists everywhere, more specifically to musicians and the creative community, and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music, both traditional and innovative. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues, and schedules of performances in Southern California venues large and small. We cover workshops and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kids o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to proto blues.
