Scheduled Gigs
 
   
The Poudre River Irregulars play at a wide variety of events. Private gigs include everything from parties and weddings, to swing dances, to church services and funeral marches. In addition, the "Mini-PRI", a stripped-down version of the band, is available for community and retirement groups with tight budgets. To arrange private bookings, see Contact Us.

Public gigs include a variety of scheduled appearances (concerts sponsored by jazz societies, for instance), and a recurring monthly gig to sellout crowds at Avogadro's Number:

Logo of 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.

In these listings, the shorthand "Regular Irregulars" means Len Kellogg on trombone, Clark Burnside on clarinet, Gene Libbea on bass, Rory Thomas on banjo, Oscar DeZoto on drums.
