cc Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looking for more music towns (western states) that have frequent music jams/programs. First choice is good weather and months like mid-70's high average and upper 30's low average (when we RV-THERE). Examples: Quartzsite, AZ in Jan-Feb "with above temperatures" [w-a-temps] and about 18-20 scheduled music jams per week + paid entertainers almost weekly at RV Pks and QIA bldg. (& do Blythe, CA bluegrass every Jan) Mtn View, AR and Branson, MO in Oct & mid-Nov [w-a-temps] and music every day. Cloudcroft, NM and Winter Park, CO [w-a-temps] and music, melodramas, other attractions almost weekly. Some summers we have done the bluegrass-circuit of these states (alphabetic listings): CO, ID, MT, SD, WA and WY. Don't wish anymore to RV to music in IN, KY, NC, TN, VA and WV, Too far to travel and too humid in most of these states in the summer. Thanks for reading and hopefully responding.

cc Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks Zulu and Stan; but I've been both places and they are short term. The places I mentioned above last the whole time I'm there. So I'm looking for a town(s) with a long entertainment season. Been to Branson 15-16 times (each time, but once, included the veteran's programs & always free shows to vets at Grand Country, John Tweed, Rex Reeves, IMAX-/Lil' Opry Theatre, Tony Orlando, Titanic and several others +many with vet-discounts) from 9-32 days; but still gets expensive and a 2400 mile r/t. The "mountain states-trip above" allowed me to make 8-9 bluegrass festivals in 12-14 weeks (constantly doing figure-8 travels and 4000 miles at 6mpg. Basically same schedule with eastern states. Uh-uhhh; no more of that. But again, thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Is New Orleans too far east for you? I suspect Key West is off your list.

bobsallyh Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yuma, AZ. There are jams everyday at RV parks. Seems to be a circuit around the city. Since there are many Canadian Snowbirds in the Yuma area there is no lack of jams or great weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Joyce Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is New Orleans too far east for you? I suspect Key West is off your list. Linda Sand My wife and I are still amazed at how good the musicians are in Key West. It must be a competitive market, so only the best survive.

But throughout whole summer music all over the place. Nothing big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
