SEPTEMBER ALREADY, WITH A TUNEFUL WEEKEND... Sep 10 2016 edition

.
.
No need to contemplate sitting at home. There's plenty on the weekend musical landscape, including a thoroughly delightful festival with sea chanteys and big sailing ships, where it's cool, on the water, at Dana Point! And there are good concerts (some free) and even some participatory musical events, scattered all over the place.

Now, NEXT weekend is CRAZY with festivals, and we'll bring you a separate edition real soon with all of that. Meantime, the type was just set on this one, and it's off to the press so you won't miss out on anything right now, THIS Saturday & Sunday.

LAST WEEK'S EDITION looks at future events that are still way ahead. It's at:

No table of contents this time, just jump right in.

Be sure to peruse the Guide's recent editions for a vast variety of acoustic and Americana music news that you just won't find elsewhere at any one source!

LAST WEEK'S EDITION looks at future events that are still way ahead. It's at:

http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2016/09/labor-day-weekends-music-events-2016.html

Of course, there's MORE. A guaranteed deep dive (or you can wade to the ankles, if you like) is in recent editions -- a VERY YUGELY FULL edition, indeed, is at:

http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-hot-licks-of-august-aug-6-2016.html

Yeppers, by golly, bunches 'n bunches on music news and some events that still have not happened yet!

For even MORE news that you might have missed about late summer & fall events -- during that excruciating partisan duopoly of lyin' speechifyin' along with the quadrennial compulsion with the Olympics, you can explore with our "search" function, up top (click "full web site" if your mobile device is oversimplifying things).

Or you can even use the "July" tab in the sidebar (you may need to open that feature), and you'll get access to editions published before August 1, and as far back as when Napoleon was a private.

The Guide brings you frequent editions covering MUSIC NEWS, festivals, events (from concerts to film festivals) and ticket alerts, and always available right here on the Guide's Blogspot site.


+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

More soon, as always.

♪ 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 forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues, and schedules and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues monumentally large and intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds 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 bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the roots of the blues and where the music is headed now.
