Dear Hans, I'm interested in performing at your event in San Luis Obispo. I'm also considering staging a similar event up here in Santa Cruz. My brother Rick has done it at the Rio Theater as a free event and I'm hoping to do either a similar event, i.e. a free concert; or, try to lure a bonified headliner and charge money. I personally don't have the financial resources to cover the second option right now, which would involve insurance and rental costs, etc., so the first option of a free show, with the ability to Merchandise, and maybe the possiblilty of a "name player" who could cover there own expenses to get here, seems the best way. Success in these events to me would be to have a rapt audience exposed to this amazing new (relatively speaking) form of music improvisation/composition. Let me know if I can help.
