I will no longer be compiling monthly music-event reminders or updating the event listings on my website. There are now simply too many concerts and activities for me to maintain a complete and accurate calendar.
My website will continue to provide links to organizations, venues, performers, and other resources related to the kinds of music many of us enjoy. I strongly encourage you to visit those sites and subscribe to current email lists so that you can receive event announcements directly from the source.
Please visit banjojudy.com and look for “what’s new” to find the links.
I hope these resources will help you continue to find performances and events of interest.
I will continue to update the jam information. Please send updates to me at banjojudy@gmail.com.
