Find out what’s on while you’re there.
Concert listings and exhibition schedules are scattered all over the place: venue websites, museum pages, gallery calendars, social media. Piecing together what’s actually happening on the days you’ll be in town can be exhausting, especially in a city you don’t know well. I do that legwork for you, and I pick for your taste, not for the crowd. You get it all in one portable document, with links to every venue, every ticket page and every location on a map. All I need is where you’re going and when. If your trip is already booked, I’ll fill in what’s on. If you’re still deciding, give me a window of dates and I’ll show you what’s worth timing the trip around. Take one service or both; neither requires anything else from me.
IndieTripper™ Live
I find the shows on during your dates, chosen around the music you love: the big tours hitting town when you are, as well as local artists and smaller club shows that might strike a chord. Even a recently published guidebook will list music venues, but how do you know which ones have opened, closed or changed owners since it went to print? I check.
The best way to get started is with a playlist or your top ten artists: the music you’d cross town, or maybe a continent, to hear.
For better results, order about six to ten weeks before you go. Any earlier and the small rooms haven’t posted their calendars; any later and the best of them have sold out.
IndieTripper™ Art
Guidebooks may tell you about the museums, but not what’s happening in them at just the time you’ll be there. I find the exhibitions on during your dates, chosen around the art you love: the major museum shows and the galleries that may be a bit harder to find, with hours and admission so you know before you go.
Be prepared: one of the things I’ll ask you is to name a few artists who stop you in your tracks, and a few (if any) who drive you up the wall.
Ideally, order about four to eight weeks before you go. Museums announce months ahead, but many fine galleries will only post their next show a few weeks before it opens.
With a Roadmap
A Roadmap is the trip. Live and Art fill in what’s on. Add either one to any Roadmap, for one city or all of them.
