- Spread the Word
- Let people know when the Floating Folk Festival is playing. In the world of live and local music, attendance is life. If you are a performer who distributes a newsletter that lists your upcoming shows, how about including a list of
upcoming shows for the Floating Folk Festival, even if you are not scheduled to appear? If you are on the bill, consider issuing a press release with photos, bios, etc. If people are not aware of a show, they will not know to attend.
You can also advertise an upcoming show in the guestbook.

- Attend the Shows
- Performers need audiences, and clubs need customers. Show up, eat, drink, be merry, tip well, and make noise! (between songs, preferably) Support the musicians and the people who hire them. After the show, visit the
website, and post comments in the guestbook.
- Buy Floating Folk CDs
- If you already have copies of both CDs, buy one for a friend - they make great gifts! Both are available from Planetary Records, and can be purchased at any
Plan 9 Music Store, as well as Amazon.com and MP3.com. The faster we sell Volumes I and II, the sooner we can record and release Volume
III. To hear tracks from the first two Volumes, click here.
- Shop at Plan 9
- Always do your music shopping at Plan 9, and encourage friends to do the same. Plan 9 has done
more for local music than all the other record stores combined will ever do for the next hundred years. Remember, "friends don't let friends buy CDs from anywhere other than Plan 9".
- Thank the Supporters
- Handshakes, smiles, words of thanks, and friendly e-mails to those who hire or support us are great ways to ensure the continued success of the Floating Folk Festival.
- Refer Business to Floating Folks
- Refer people looking for studio time to Jim Westlyn's Full Moon Studio, or Cy Taggert's Monkey House, or Studio Wee with Dominic Carpin. Refer people looking for website services to Flytrapper.com, run by Mike Ribeiro of Warm. If you know of someone looking for live music, tell them to contact the Floating Folk Festival, or
hire one of its many performers.
