Good news for music lovers especially those in Durham NC! Please forward this press release widely. This is a one-time message announcing the Fowler's Porch and Garage Music Series. If you don't want to receive any more emails from me, just send a quick reply back to this address and I'll make sure that you are taken off my list. If you want *more* emails like this one, please sign up on the FowlersMusic yahoogroup (link below).

We are actively seeking volunteers and corporate/media sponsors for this community-oriented live concert series. Average paid attendance at these shows ranges from 150-300 (porch stage) to 400-700 (loading dock stage) depending on whom the artists are and where they perform. Please get in touch if you have questions or want more information regarding those opportunities.

If you are a musician, manager, or agent and want to send me a presskit for booking consideration, you can mail it to the address below. Please keep in mind that most of our headlining acts have at least one record out on a respected label with solid distribution, they tour regionally/nationally, and they can consistently draw 150+ in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill NC market. Limited opening slots are available for local performers.

Best regards,
Lora

Fowler's Porch and Garage Music Series to happen this summer:
In summer 2000-2001, the covered back porch of Fowler's Gourmet in historic downtown Durham was home to the wildly successful Americana Music Series. Presented by Team 1512 Productions, these concerts featured intimate live performances by national touring acts and top local bands playing to capacity crowds. Musically, the focus was on high-energy genres such as alt-country, rockabilly, swing, honky-tonk, and roots/rock. Headlining artists included Tift Merritt and the Carbines, the Gourds, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, Cigar Store Indians, Two Dollar Pistols, Trailer Bride, and Scott Miller, among others.

This summer we are bringing back top-quality live music to Fowler's!!! In June 2004, the Fowler's Porch and Garage Music Series will kick off on the back porch, beginning an eight show season which will run through early October. The format will remain roughly the same: two bands (or more!) outside every other Friday night from 8-11 pm, fans of all ages are welcome. This year we plan to expand the size and scope of our bookings. Besides our favorite Americana bands, look for a few ROCK shows out in the "garage" (the loading dock and parking lot adjacent to Fowler's).

Season passes will be available for the first time this year, probably going on sale in May once most of our bookings have been confirmed. Single tickets will be sold in advance and at the door (space permitting). Most single tickets will cost $10 for adults and $5 for kids ten and younger, except for special presentations which could run a little higher depending on the artist. Season passes and single tickets will be sold online via the secure, user-friendly etix.com system, accessible through the Team 1512 website (link below). A limited run of hand-crafted commemorative tickets will be sold in advance at Fowler's only.
