So you want to potluck with us...

We tape and share electronically all of our gatherings. If you have a problem with being recorded, this isn't the place for you.

We hate to sound discouraging, but that's what we're about to do......

We plan to host 6 or so private, musical potlucks in the next year yet we will be contacted by more than 100 musicians who would like to join us for one of our unique gatherings. We would love to host more, but we do this in our home and we do not collect any money for ourselves. We lose money on every potluck, we only do it for fun and community. We invite people by sending out emails to our friends. You may invite your friends as well.

We are committed to hosting potlucks with music we are sure our friends will enjoy. Many of our attendees are working musicians and other industry professionals who live in Boulder County and tour nationwide. We are lucky enough to be able to go for a "sure thing" in the talent we choose. We also get to be a bit selfish and pick the styles we like best - mainly Americana, classical fusion, traditional bluegrass, old-time, western swing, jamgrass, Vaudville revival, gypsy... We lean strongly in the direction of roots oriented acoustic string music. We generally don't do "singer-songwriter" type stuff, but lean towards musicians who consider themselves "pickers." We are drawn to virtuosity. We are all acoustic and don't generally do any amplification or drums.

So, if you are a gambler and we haven't discouraged you yet... please don't send us somewhere to download your stuff. Please don't email us mp3s. Your best and only hope (unless we are already fans) is to mail us your latest CD and/or (even better) a burned cdr of a live show with your one-page (don't waste money on a big press kit, please) along with a phone number, email address, and dates you will be available in our area in your package.

If this hasn't been enough to scare you off and you realize your chances are slim even if you are good, email us for an address to send materials to.

If we are interested, we will be in touch.

Really, its almost hopeless!
