To increase quality live shows in your life you will need a few basic "get the word out" resources.
Use them to meet people you wouldn't normally run into, and keep in touch with the people you meet when you are out.
Being a music lover, your funds are probably vastly distributed to many music related expenses, so
most of these are free or less than $150 annually.

Setup an easy to maintain, affordable, feature rich website for your venue, band, or favorite group
of music fans with your own memorable domain name. (mailing list management, space for downloadable media, streaming media,
shopping cart, etc. included in one plan) LiveMusicHome.com was created using SiteDelux instant website software on PowWeb
servers.
If you think your site will need more of, or different features than powweb offers, or you
are a more tech savvy user, try BlueHost. They will include your domain name for free for as long as you host with them.
Both have excellent customer service and have been in business for years, which should be major factors
in choosing a web host. Personally I use them both, so if you need help with your website you can contact me, as well as their support.
