Feature Acts
First Friday is an established, well-run coffeehouse series in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia...about 75 miles from DC and Baltimore. We start the evening with an open mic, followed by a feature performance of approximately one hour. The venue is candlelight and offers coffee, snacks and refreshments. We typically attract 30 to 60 people and collect donations for the feature act and local community outreach programs. The series runs September thru June.
Bookings
I am now booking for the 2009-2010 season. Acts should be in the folk, country, Americana, roots genre. Features get a guarantee, plus a percentage of the door when the minimum is exceeded. I can typically provide lodging when necessary.
IMPORTANT! To be considered, please send CD and promo and simple bio. This is really important. I get lots of requests to visit artists' pages and just can't get to them all. I need the hard media to connect with you when I have time to listen. If booked, I play your CD at the show the month prior to your date to promote your show.

"Some major label should give him a contract, take the eight sides on 'Rules of the Game' as is. It is simply splendid, way better than most major-label products. Every track here is a little gem, but his performance on this deliciously melodic toe-tapper is especially swell. The production carries you along like a perfect wave." -Robert Oermann;
"If this guy doesn’t have all the necessary ingredients for stardom, then I don’t know anything about music. " -Billy Block's Western Beat
