Seems odd that Summerfest in Council Bluffs tonight, July 26, is not listed. Free show with the Prairie Gators and Matt Cox solo with a drone show at 9:30 and tons of people go to this. I also noticed that in upcoming shows in August neither the Hamilton Loomis nor Nikki Hill/Laura Chavez on August 22 and August 29 at Granary on the Green were listed. Also, I hope you are willing to put a big focus on In the Market for Blues next Saturday, August 3. That's a major blues festival at a very reasonable price with many great bands in Omaha for the day.

Yes, you posted on Nikki Hill's show at the Zoo Bar the night before she plays at the Granary Green in Ralston.

We will post about that when it happens. The on sale post is shows with advance tickets for sale.

Yeah, we usually are not really selling tickets in advance for shows hosted by BSO, although that may be in the works. Certainly, in advance tickets were a big part of In the Market for Blues.

I don't have anything up for August yet. I had no idea that they had a second Summerfest. I wrote about it when it happened awhile back. We have posted on In the Market for Blues multiple times and will again soon.

Just thought it was odd that wasn't on the list--tonight's Summerfest deal in CB. Thank you for posting on In the Market for Blues. My musical interests go far beyond blues, though I do work for BSO. I appreciate your more inclusive of everything posts, and that's why I'm a paid subscriber. Are you a BSO member?

I used to be a BSO member and attend a lot of shows when Terry O was running things. Terry is a close friend. Yeah, the way I pull shows is by looking at 150 venues every week. If something happens at a once a year spot I may miss it as it is not part of my process. I didn’t realize that got cancelled and rescheduled. I appreciate your support. Thank you.

Consider rejoining BSO. The newsletter is much better since I am writing and editing it. That may seem arrogant to say, but it's true. We're both in the same business supporting live music in Omaha and I hope we can support each other.

I will look into that. Thank you.
