Hi ghanlon,
I live on the other side of the Bay (Largo on the Gulf of Mexico) I play all of my gigs solo minus a percussionist/drummer from time to time. I can however, give you some contact names and numbers of club owners seeking live performers. Most all of the resort places in our area, unfortunately, are hiring musicians who play almost exclusively covers. There are a few holes locally that give players of original music but they usually don't pay anything. Send me some of your specs (song list, sound bites,asking pay fee) privately via e-mail and I'll do what I can for you. Welcome to Chordie and I'm sure our paths will cross soon.
Peace and Guitars,
SouthPaw41L(Toney)
PS. I'm playing tonight(thursday march 6) at Jimmy Guanas(Holiday Inn Harbourside) on Indian Rocks Beach 7:20-11pm,
tomorrow night(friday) 6-10pm at The Loading Dock (Crabby Bills, Indian Rocks Beach, gulf blvd) and sunday at Coasters on Indian Rocks Beach(1400 block,gulf blvd)3-7pm. Take 688 west all the way to the Gulf of Mexico and you're on Indian Rocks Beach. It's a small place and everything is easy to find.
Give everything but up.
