Hi Folks,
We are starting to plan our dates for the 2005 Just Plain Folks Roadtrips. Before we add cities, we need to know there are enough local/area members to justify setting up a local showcase and/or meeting. To justify a showcase, we generally require at least 20 interested artists to perform. (Our Roadtrip shows usually average 30-40 performers per show in most cities). To justify a meeting or Roadtrip stop of any kind, we need no less than 10 members interested, which is also the minimum number to have a local chapter. If you'd like us to stop in this area in 2005, please post a note here and let us know. If there's enough interest indicated, we will add a stop. We will be filming a documentary this year on the road and will include a few interviews of local artists as we tour, so if you want us to include your music scene, now is the time to say hi and speak up!

Where are all the Philly folks? Philly used to be our largest member base in the country.

I am thinking of using Philly as a hub for about a week. If Vince can get the chapter rolling (hopefully with the help of Mick and Bonnie) we may do multiple showcases like we always have in Philly in the past. (One year we did 7!). If it's still quiet, then I will likely only plan 1 show plus perhaps the annual picnic/party if the police don't shut us down.

Plans our to get the first newsletter out next week (week of March 7th) and we're shooting for our first meeting in April. I will also be pulling together all the Philly based songwriting and music biz stuff into one place so everyone will know whats going on. Questions along the way you can always email me...thanks!

You will find lots of just plain folks in the Philadelphia area who will be happy to perform at a RoadTrip show.
