Events Horizon – Wednesday, January 25, 2012
I’d like to start this week’s Guitar Noise Events Horizon with a repeat announcement from last week (hopefully that makes sense!) Longtime Guitar Noise community member Tom McLaughlin and Life is Drama have made it to the final ballot stage for the readers’ favorites poll of the Chicago suburban magazine, Nitelife. So if you can manage to get a few spare minutes while you’re on the Internet, head to the following URL: http://www.nitelife.org/ and then click on the banner that says “Best of the Burbs.” Then take a moment and vote for Life is Drama for “Best Cover Band” and “Best Rock Band,” and be sure to also add Mindi for “Best Female Singer” and Rob for “Best Drummer.” And, of course, be sure to vote for Tom (who goes by “Tommy Gunz”) for “Best Guitarist.” On behalf of Tom and Life is Drama, we thank all of you in the Guitar Noise community for helping out!
Okay, now let me welcome you once more to the latest Guitar Noise Events Horizon, our weekly blog post where we do our best to catch you up on upcoming shows featuring members and friends of the Guitar Noise community, taking place all over the world. Or at least wherever and whenever people let us know they’re happening!
Because, as you know, we at Guitar Noise believe that the true power, wonder and beauty of music comes when it gets shared with the world. So whenever you’re out playing, we’d really like to do is to help promote your shows, whether it’s in a stadium or at a ten-seat coffee house. Not only is it a great way to help support each other, it’s also a terrific way to meet more musicians!
Every Wednesday, we’ll post here about the gigs we know are coming up in the following ten days or so. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to attend a show should they happen to be in your corner of the world!

Marilyn Miller has a solo gig at the Hyde Park Brewery, located at 4076 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park, New York. It’s a great restaurant and bar so come on by and have a great meal to go along with the great music. Show starts at 8 PM.

It’s not a show, but it could very easily lead to you having one! The Winter / Spring 2012 Guitar Workshops start this week at the Berkshire Community College at their South County Center in Great Barrington, MA. There are three beginners’ classes, two “Step 2” classes and also a “Jam Class” as well as a Songwriting Workshop being offered at great prices (less than $10 per class). You can also find a beginner’s ukulele class being offered this semester. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to play an instrument, now’s the time! Plus you’ll get to take lessons in person from Guitar Noise’s David Hodge. Classes meet on either Tuesday or Thursday nights and you get 15 lessons between now and the end of May.
