Hey fellow tour loving singers + bands, let’s collaborate.
GET A ROOM?
Let’s share venue and lodging information about our favorite places, stops, venues, accommodations, camp grounds, etc… Help ya GET A ROOM to gig here, and GET A ROOM to crash there - and vice versa.
I recently traveled to Dallas from Minneapolis and Facebook found me an amazing guitarist to fill in a week before playing an outdoor festival as “David K’s Rockabilly Roadshow.” We also luckily were invited to park our sprinter camper van at a high school pal’s ranch. Perfect trip, had a blast, show went great, saved money, so everybody won. Got me to thinkin’ - I LOVE to perform everywhere and anywhere and love the adventure and the people, as much as the music. Why not build a collective of new friends collaborating to expand venues to play, places to stay, cool stuff to see and do, and cool new people to meet?
I want us, the Entertainment community to share stuff something like this…
I perform solo piano, guitar, vocal and as well, duo, trio - classic rock, pop, soul, and 4-6 pieces doing tribute shows. Costumed up or not as Roy Orbison, Elton, Buddy Holly, and we do a tribute to rockabilly, “David K’s Rockabilly Roadshow” a tribute to the early greatest; Roy, Elvis, Cash, Chuck, Jerry Lee, Little Richard etc.
I’ve played piano bars, pubs, wineries, fine dining establishments solo etc., and we can share Opera houses, Community Theaters, Performing Arts Centers that we do our tribute shows at, in Minnesota and Iowa, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin mostly and some random venues in TN, IL, WY, CO…
I have email lists of Minnesota wineries, breweries, distilleries and cideries and lists of venues in the northland.

Oldies But Goodies: Playing the Senior Circuit
Some musicians pooh-pooh the idea of playing for older people; like it’s unhip compared to, say, a room full of drunks screaming for “Free Bird” or something. I’ve been doing it for 16 years, and consider it more than fine.
Road Trips & Speed Traps,
As a lifelong author and musician, I’ve road-tripped for about 30 years. The overwhelming majority of out-of-town excursions have been delightful: Frequently playing lovely venues, meeting friendly folks, as often as not savoring scrumptious local scenery or cuisine. The next level down is a much smaller collection of subpar performances, people in dirtball towns with unrealistic expectations, and Cheez-It dining in my car enroute to the venue because there’s no time for anything else.
