When I first started performing ambient music, it was with M. Peck and another fellow. There were no venues for ambient music. We were the only ambient act around. However, we were able to find a lot of places to perform. It was surprising, because this is not a very urban area. Unfortunately many venues just weren't satisfying to play at. Art galleries and wine tastings were horrible. We did a technology convention luncheon once, that was not enjoyable. However, we found several other venues that made our efforts worthwhile: a planetarium, a coptic conference, a Unitarian Church concert. Peck and I put two shows together that drew a decent crowd for this area. We had 90 at one show and over 60 at another. If we could find places here, then I think with some imagination, an ambient musician can find venues anywhere. Now we are a little more selective where we play. We have been very fortunate to play at some tremendous venues in the last few years.
