Autumn,
I know a guy who is a touring musician in your area who I bet would be of benefit to you if you can catch him, he checks his myspace frequently, look up Tony Furtado and see if you can get a dialogue going with him , he has been touring for awhile and is very successful and talented. I think Mike's Management out of Arizona books him, but he is really a nice guy who stays as busy as he wants to...all the best...Moker
