Midwesterners... I need your help.

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.

Ben

Hi. I don't know if this is exactly in the "midwest", but we have a couple of really neat coffee houses in Tulsa, OK. One is the Coffe Banc. It is next to Rhema Bible College and is a Christian place. They usually have bands there every Saturday night. There is another one, but I can't think of the name right now. I will try to find out.

BTW, your website isn't working. :wave:

Hey... thanks so much. I will definitely check them (when you get me the other one) out. Oklahoma isn't exacly midwest-y but we have also been talking about going "out of the area" a little bit too. We have had offers from a couple of places in Virginia but I don't think it's going to happen due to time constraints. But I will definitely look more into these venues because Oklahoma isn't horribly far away... (am I insane? naah) :)... God Bless,
Ben

I may be able to get you info on some places in central Illinois...I can't think of any names or anything off the top of my head, but I know there's some around that a friend of mine has played at if you're interested (and it's not quite as far as Oklahoma!).

HA! (I have this strange sensation to move to Oklahoma and I have no idea what... OOOOOOOKLAHOMA where the wind...) :)

Oh, and the website should work. There's no www at the front of the address. It's http://reveling.tripod.com but for some reason earlier it wouldn't let me post the http://
