WHERE IT’S AT (MONTREAL EDITION) – APRIL 12
Here’s Where It’s At (Montreal Edition) live blues/roots for the week starting April 12 (and beyond) courtesy of Cha Cha Cha In Blue on CKUT 90.3FM:

The easiest way to get your gig on this list is if you create a Facebook event for it. That way it stays up until the date of the show and provides a link so fans can get details. If you make a single post or a graphic to announce it then I (and some of your fans) will probably miss it, especially if it’s a list of several shows. Also, I’m not going to transcribe your info.
Le moyen le plus simple d’avoir votre concert sur cette liste est si vous créez un événement Facebook pour cela. De cette façon, il reste à la date de l’émission et fournit un lien afin que les fans puissent obtenir des détails. Si vous faites un seul post ou un graphique pour l’annoncer, je le manquerai probablement (et certains de vos fans), surtout s’il s’agit d’une liste de plusieurs concerts. De plus, je ne vais pas transcrire vos informations.

Laura Carbone & the good folks at Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz (PB&J) are doing their part to foster goodwill between neighbours. “For the last 6 months, all of our concerts are FREE to Canadians who show their passport at the door, our friendly neighbor, “no-tariff” policy. We are a short hour from Montreal, and 20 minutes south of the border.”

BYWATER CALL
” … recent policies have made it more difficult not only for Canadians to visit the U.S., but also for Canadian musicians to tour in the U.S. due to very high P2 visa fees. Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz continues to support Canadian artists when we can, providing contracts for bands we book to obtain visas in advance, so that about 20% of the bands we present come from Canada.”
