Hey TwoLips, ^^ thats if you go out to Vic! Or if you see those bands visit Vancouver, which Island bands do fairly often.

If you go to our show listings (the far left tab in the menu bar), and look for our "Pick Genres" option, you can adjust your viewing preferences to show JUST the Country/Bluegrass/Rockabilly genre. Then you'll see the upcoming events that local c/b/r bands are playing.
It looks like the Railway, Cottage Bistro, Princeton Pub, and I think maybe the Main still hosts stuff like that, but they don't promote, so you might want to try the website links in their profile(s) if the listings aren't complete.

Or you can go to our band directory and specify it to show you bands from that genre. There are about a hundred, but only a few who look to be actively gigging.

Hope that helps! - Wed, 4 Mar 2009 10:28am Edited: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 10:34am

If you're into the more "Alt-Country" sort of thing, Vancouver's Octoberman are really great - Thu, 12 Mar 2009 8:54pm
