Any suggestions?

Where do you reside Alex?

Check out the WorldCafeLive site... I see Robert Fripp and The League of Crafty Guitarists there in Nov. as well as California Guitar Trio.

The NJ Prog House is a 2 hour ride outside of Philly but there are 2 good shows coming up this fall: Advent Saturday Oct. 20 and IZZ/Anton Roolaart Saturday Nov. 17.

ROSfest and NEARfest are in the spring. ROSfest in Phoenixville, PA last weekend of April 2008 and NEARfest in Bethlehem, PA 20-22 June 2008.

The Moody Blues are playing the Poland Spring Arena At The Ritacco Center in Toms River, NJ (not really as this is only 8 miles from my home but I think Toms River is the biggest nearby city so they go with it) on the 27th of Oct.

Blackmore's Night, not really prog but a good show, is at the Strand Theater in Lakewood, NJ (exactly 4 miles from my front door). A nice theater for a gig.

If I get any more gig info, I'll let you know. There must be something coming up in Atlantic City... I'll have to look.
