Here's a small idea of what we are working with:
https://truonline.org/theater-and-rehearsal-venues/

And still, it's a case by case basis because not everywhere can handle drums.
I can't say for sure but my guess is we could collectively raise $400-600 which seems like it would cover two nights at a fair number of those places.
I doubt I’ll be able to make it but happy to pitch in against expenses to making it happen. Long Live SFL!

I could potentially contribute a small amount too. Depending on the dates we’re looking at, I might be able to swing coming down from Boston.

O.K Folks. Now is the moment of truth. I have secured a great venue for Song Fight Live! 2026 in Seattle, and now need to determined whether or not there is ongoing interest in a one-night event on Saturday, September 12, details to be provided once interest is ascertained. We don't need to fill the place, but we need enough interest to make it worth each others' worthwhiles. Chime in now!

If there is room, I would happy to stand in. Jaydog members are out of town. Octothorpe members are, shall we say, incapacitated.

BTW, in the interest of full disclosure, this venue is not costing me anything. I will be adding a "Northwest Concerts" banner to any publicity documents (Facebook event, poster, etc.), because they are hooking us up with the venue.

These days I'm playing >70 gigs per year, mostly in summer, to include September 10, 11, 12, and 14. So it's safe to say I'm out.

I would love to contribute to the fund. Drop a venmo or whatever and I'll chip in.
