Genres: Let’s talk about Genres for the local musicians. A number of our subscribers asked if I could include the genre’s of the musicians so I put together a list of over 160 musicians and have tried my best to find their genres. But there are new artists coming in all the time and most venues don’t list their genres. If I know their genre I will include it. If you see one that I missed and you know their genre let me know please. I get it, it is really nice to know what type of music they play.

Note: Always confirm with the venue as there could be changes in their schedule. If I know the artists genre I will share it, some I don’t know.

Plus, with all that extra flexibility and control, your dance moves will be so smooth, even your mirror will want to applaud-now that’s what we call “core-rect” alignment!
