These are the top 20 artists we're listening to right now...in no particular order.
From Seattle to San Francisco, there's plenty of dynamite places for musicians to play. Based on our experience, here's a select list of Pet Marmoset-approved venues.
They're listed in random order and in basic sizes: S, M, L, and XL. Small is appropriate for solo and small acoustic acts, XL is usually where national acts play. M is 250-400 capacity.
A variety of new music and some Northwest-born ditties that Team Marmoset has on repeat. More than four hours of steaming music that you can listen to anywhere you've got a decent internet connection. Try it.
These folks represent the friends, family and extended family of Pet Marmoset. We highly recommend you check them out.
Marmosets have blogs. People do too. Here are a few we read.
