The Poudre River Irregulars play at a wide variety of events. Private gigs include everything from parties to swing dances to funeral marches (to arrange private bookings, see Contact Us). Public gigs include a variety of free appearances, scheduled concerts (as sponsored by jazz societies, for instance), and a recurring monthly gig to sellout crowds at Avogadro's Number.

Avogadro's Number, Avo's to its friends, is a popular Fort Collins hangout near Colorado State University. The address is 605 South Mason, just north of the CSU campus. The Irregulars play there from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. the first Friday of each month (but it pays to come early if you want a good seat). Avo's offers ample food and drink, and live music of all kinds; their phone number is (970) 493-5555.

We hope you'll come and hear us play. Below (as best we know it) is our calendar of gigs that are open to the public for the next few months:
