Thx @timbre land whiskey! That forum doesn't seem very active, though. I truly appreciate you sharing the link, I'm just looking for something a bit more comprehensive. Thx again, and best wishes to you! - Gary

It's not active because no one is posting gigs and such there. Maybe if we start it could become a good tool. If you don't post in there because it's dormant, then it will continue to stay that way. That's all I was getting at.

I plan on posting about gigs and events once they are a couple of weeks out. I've also started using the event option as well (similar to facebook).

I'm willing to cross promote with anyone in my area looking to share gigs, jam with us, looking for gigs in Buffalo, etc. Most people would just use facebook (as do I). However this site has a very unique membership, one that I thought would dig my band - hence why I advertise here. That and it's where I bought my CBG.

Thx for pointing out the event capability! I hadn't even noticed that functionality at my page til you pointed it out. Probably better to use that function for routine bookings, and stick to bigger event types at the events/fests forum, wouldn't wanna clutter up the forum with unnecessary, excessive posts about gigs. Sincerely, thx for pointing that out, don't know how I missed it!

Oh hey, back to this topic.  As detailed in the comments, this was my 4th year gigging, and taking my banjo/box guitar bit in front of various people.  Certainly got alot of advice from other gigging folks, about what I need to do to get gigs when I was already getting gigs.  Just no tangible support to speak of, from other folk art instrument enthusiasts...  Of course, I have run across quite a few, isolated folks that are indeed interested in MUTUAL support.  Actually, branched out into 4 more states in the meantime!  Thanks anyway, to everyone for the good general advice pertinent for an individual just getting their feet wet, unfortunately the advice just didn't pertain to my act.  Was kinda looking more for any substantial collective efforts to further a community.  Still looking for such, for anyone so inclined.  Keep on keepin' on, all you fine folks!
