CRUMBS Nite Out

Brought to you by the following:

The Linda and CRUMBS.net, the online place where all musicians and local music fans start the process of networking with everyone who’s anyone in the Capital Region music business, have joined to present CRUMBS Nite Out at The Linda. The evening will feature local performers, a special pre show music scene mixer, and industry vendor tables. The past eight events have been a great success. Every musician and band that stopped by benefited in some way. Some were able to get a new gig but most were able to connect with other musicians, venues, recording studios, and videographer. Stop by the next event and continue to network. We look forward to seeing you there making that networking connection and furthering your music career.

This CRUMBS Nite Out event is free.

The Performer - December 11, 2008

Ramblin Jug Stompers - The Stompers' ramblin style nods to the great tradition of American string band music while winking directly at the classic jug bands of the 60s folk scene, including The Jim Kweskin Jug Band, The Even Dozen Jug Band, Dave Van Ronk, and The Lovin' Spoonful.

The Jug Stompers have quickly become a hit, headlining at nightclubs, festivals, colleges, and concert venues, including: The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Caffe Lena, WAMC's Performing Arts Studio, Berkshire Harvest Festival, First Night Saratoga, Albany Tulip Festival, Union College, Rensselaer Polytechnic University, Club Helsinki, Albany WinterFest, and Tess’ Lark Tavern -where they are featured monthly.

Ramblin Jug Stompers consists of luminaries from New York's Capital District music scene, including former and current members of notable Albany bands past and present -like Blotto, The Star Spangled Washboard Band, Rumdummies, Stomplistics, Johnny Rabb's Rockhouse, The Lustre Kings, The Plague, The Neanderthals, Chefs of the Future, and the list goes on...

Music Scene Mixer

The music scene mixer hour starts at 7:00pm and the performers go on at 8:00pm. During the mixer be sure to bring your band's information, promotional packages, and CDs. This event will not only feature three great performances but it will also host networking tools to promote the local music scene. The first hour of the event will be a music scene mixer featuring the following:

• Vendors may include video production companies, producers, record labels, venue managers, local media, t-shirt companies, booking agents, local bands and more.
• We hear all the time that local media, including newspapers and alternative magazines, are always looking for band information and show dates. This is a great opportunity to inform bands on how to get their information in the media.
• Bands are looking for venues and venues are looking for bands. This allows venue managers to get information from numerous bands in person at once without the annoying phone calls.
• Musicians are always looking for other musicians. Meet and greet other musicians and bands. Who knows, you may get a gig out of the networking.
