I would love to see you succeed with this as the area I live in is really lousy for live music if you're not constantly tuned in to the buzz. I am a musician and have a fair number of musician friends who tell me about shows happening locally but it tends to be a repetition of me going out to see the same 3 or 4 bands all year... Another trap to avoid is having someone that has close to a monopoly on bookings in an area do your curating. There's an agency here in South Florida that has bookings tied up for 90% of the good clubs in the area. If they're curating, you only see their acts. :( Again, great idea, I wish you success.

I know what you mean about being tuned into the buzz. I'm a suit wearing accountant, and about as far from the buzz as one can get. StageTrip is supposed to be an end-run around the buzz, right to the music. Thanks for the head's up about being selective about who gets involved. South Florida, hey? Point me to some of your friend's bands (or your own) and I'll start building up FL.
