Promote your event on Music in the 'Cuse

Not much going on for a few days, so, in honor of the New Year, I've updated the concert calendar with loads of events stretching into May! Next, I'll be updating the Festivals and Events pages with new dates for 2011 events.

In the meantime, I've been thinking about using this site to help promote local music events a bit more aggressively. If you have an upcoming event you would like to promote, please email me (foxydonna@earthlink.net) with the details along with a jpeg or link to a poster. I will load the poster in the blog's right rail for all to see and also do a promotional piece on the event. I'm offering this as a free service and all I ask is consideration for a pass for the event!

Let's start off 2011 right, shall we!
