Hi Steemit,

Welcome to the first of what I hope to be many posts for an idea to create a weekly gig guide to upcoming live online music performances. The idea is to give audiences awareness and enough time to plan to watch musicians who are going to stream a live performance in the near future on a set date and time via Dlive.

I create this initial post to get your feedback. Please let me know, as musicians and music lovers if this is something you would like to see on Steemit. I would really appreciate your feedback. My goal here is to attract more musicians to the platform and support those already using it.

Rules are simple:

• I will create a weekly post called "Dlive Music Gig Guide Submissions (upcoming week number)

• You add a comment with the following details to your upcoming live performance

  1. A short bio about yourself/band ( Max 140 characters )
  2. Date & time of your performance UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time )
  3. About your upcoming performance ( Max 140 characters )

• Live streaming must be done via Dlive

• Performance must be of live music. All music welcome.

• Maintain punctuality on the date and time you set. (Within reason of course)

• Cut off for submissions is Sunday 12PM UTC

• Gig Guide will be posted on Wednesdays at 2PM UTC

• The Gig Guide will cover 11 days ( Wednesday to the following Sunday ) so there is always overlap.

Here is an example of an entry:

@builtinfire Grunge meets blues rock, solo indie artist from Australia. 8th May 2018 @ 4PM UTC. I'll be playing an acoustic set covering all past submissions to to OpenMic.

I am sure there will be kinks to iron out and most likely a few things I haven't thought of here but I'm sure with your feedback and support we'll get this running smoothly. I am fairly new to Steemit, but already have a passion for the platform and the vision it stands for. This is my small attempt to contribute to the growth, attract more musicians and support the musicians currently using it.

I would really appreciate your feedback on this. If you think it's a great idea, please resteem. If you think it's a bad idea, please resteem and leave a comment :) I also need an idea on the best way musicians can send me a photo to use in the Gig Guide Post, so if anyone has an idea here, please share. I would like to avoid email etc, but if that turns out to be the only option, I'll consider that path

I did search for something similar to this idea but found nothing it on Steemit. If someone else is doing something similar on Steemit, please let me know. I am not here to step on any toes, only to support and help grow this awesome community. Any legitimate objections, please let me know.

So if any of you have a live gig coming up, let's try this out: Post your gig details below. First Gig Guide will be posted Wednesday 9th May @ 2PM UTC.

Sincerely @builtinfire
