Musician Spotlight

Acoustic Rust
An acoustic duo of kat Patton and Ed "Bugs" Bugliosi, playing a wide range of new and old acoustic guitar music, including many covers and some originals. Playing all sorts of gigs: winerys, bars, corporate parties, etc. We've been together for almost 8 years now. Of utmost importance to us is to be true to the harmonies of the songs. One of our most distinguishing factors are the close harmonies we produce.

Events: Who's playing? Where? and When?

There isn't any comprehensive list of upcoming music events. Here are some tips to find out the "where and when":

  • If you have a specific musician or venue in mind, find their page on this site, and then go to their respective Facebook pages for primary source info. Be sure to "Like" their pages.
  • FLX Music 24/7 "is your ONE SOURCE for LIVE MUSIC in the Finger Lakes region."
  • Events.com seems to be an aggregator of localized Facebook event data that you may find useful.
  • For punk, metal, hip-hop, hardcore music, check out Ithaca Underground.
  • For folk/acoustic music, The Canaan Institute is the best resource I've found. They have a comprehensive calendar, e-mail newsletter, discussion forums, and tons of other useful content.
  • IthacaEvents.com has some live music event listings as well.
  • Ithaca Times Events Calendar

I'll post more links to calendars as I discover them.
