Hey, my band, Reveling, is trying to book as many shows in the midwest for this summer as possible. We have a "coffee-shop" sound, just FYI... and I need your help. If anyone has any venue names and phone numbers that you think we might do well in, please let me know. We are a Christian band but we are trying for a "different" type of ministry from most Christian bands. We take the, as I call it, "Caedmon's Call approach" in the fact that almost none of our songs mention God but deal more with everyday life. But it's an incredible ministry when we have people come up to us after the shows and ask us what influenced so-and-so an emotion in a song and we can share the Gospel with them ... It's really a blessing seeing what God does with our music. So yeah, here are the shows we have set up so far...
-Eau Claire, WI - Acoustic Cafe, House of Rock, Stones Throw (setting it up)
-Winona, MN - Acoustic Cafe
-Naperville, IL - Fat Bean Coffeehouse
-Wheaton, IL - Starbucks (setting it up along with a few other local starbucks... probably a 3 night stand in the area)
-Chicago, IL - I just sent out Demo stuff to the Boulevard Cafe, the Heartland Cafe, and Uncommon Ground but it's only been a few days so it will be a little while until I can get in contact with them.
That's it... anything else? I have a connection for the Bayfield/Duluth area and for the Green Bay area and possibly for the Madison area and in the Twin Cities (MN)... I should be getting some info from them soon but if anyone has ANYTHING else in the midwest, please let me know. Thanks... I love this place.
