Gig Swaps


I have received a number of requests to bring back the "Gig Swaps" section, so here it is. If any band or artist is in doubt as to what it implies, I suggest reading  an excellent page I came across at http://www.gigswaps.com/about/whatis.php

If you want to participate on this page, send me an e-mail at midwestvenues@aol.com -- include what you are looking for in the way of gigs (location, timeframe, etc.) and where/when you will return the favor. PLEASE type "GigSwap" in the subject so I don't accidentally delete your e-mail.  And, of course, include your e-mail address in the body of your message so people can write you.

Remember, I'm doing this for free and on my own time. Any subsequent agreements that you enter into are purely at your own risk. Postings subject to removal after 3 months. Good Luck!

Hi, my name is Beth and I play in a band called Recovery Period. We are in desperate need of a show for Sunday February 3rd. We are looking to play anywhere in Kentucky in order to help us get back home. We aren't having much luck finding anything but we'll play anywhere with anyone. Or if you know of anyone who could help us or point us in the right direction we would be eternally grateful. We are down for trading shows, contacts, whatever to make it happen. Thanks so much for your help.
