Only challenge is finding and booking... marketing. Any thoughts?

Going back to your original post, obviously following a lot of Gary's advice would be worth while ... As for venues, aside from the usual NH/AL venues, I would look into the '55+' communities that seem to be popping up all around us ... Most of these places have nice clubhouses used by the community residents for various functions, and some even have a pretty nice restaurant where they might be able to incorporate some live entertainment ...
Just remember to advertise yourself for the audience you are looking to entertain ...
