Anybody have suggestions on small venues in the south (especially TN, AL, KY, NC,GA) that cater to Americana bands?

Hey out there, launching a new project and wanting to do some very targeted regional touring. If you are in a band that travels the southeast,  or live in the region  and attend shows, I'd love to hear from you especially, Thanks!

Columbia, SC - The White Mule

Greenville, SC - Gottrocks

Charleston, SC - The Pour House

Awendaw, SC - Awendaw Green

Chapel Hill;  The Cave, The Cat's Cradle, Local 506, The Art Center.

Durham: The Casbah, Motorco, Pinhook.

Raleigh: The Pour House, The Berkeley Cafe,  Slim's.

 

Note: none of these venues book only Americana bands but I've seen Americana bands at every one of them!

Best of luck with the project!

 

Oops...... Obvious to me but let me add that all clubs are in NC and within a thirty mile radius.

Just want to thank everyone for replying to my query on clubs, what a cool community!

Nashville - The Basement.    The Mercy Lounge will host Americana bands but they cater to pretty much any and all types of music. It is a cool venue though.
