More info about the Indie Venue Bible:
The Indie Venue Bible lists the obvious venues that you can find in any
venue directory. What sets us apart from the others is lesser known venues
that you won't find listed anywhere else.
You'll find thousands of coffee shops, restaurants, house concerts, theaters,
clubs, halls, churches and book stores - any place you can land a gig! There are
also thousands of wonderful venues listed in smaller towns that have been
ignored by mainstream venue directories. For example, we have listings for over
300 cities and towns in New York State alone.
To make your life easier, we went a step further and painstakingly researched
which genres of music each of these venues feature.
Once the genres of a venue were determined, that venue was then tagged with a
set of unique, colorful GENRE TAGS
. These genre tags allow you to scroll through The Indie Venue Bible and
see instantaneously which venues in a given area welcome your style of music.
Planning your tour, locally, regionally or nationally, has never been so easy!
We know that venue owners have good intentions when they say they welcome "All
Styles" of music, but the truth of the matter is, they don't.
What happens when I walk into the club with my didgeridoo? What about the
Christian Death Metal band pulling up to the curb in their van?
Wikipedia lists over 600 different genres of music. Most venues welcome but a
small slice of this musical pie. Even the most eclectic ones draw the line ....
somewhere.
Saying that they welcome ALL styles is a disservice to you. It doesn't mean
anything. Instead of trying to figure out what "all styles" means to a
particular venue owner, what you need to know is what styles of music they
really welcome.
We have done our very best to bring this to you and more!
