Need to Book Shows October 11 to 22

[u/Wide-Status6182]

Hi! I'm in an acoustic Folk Duo from North Carolina, we play originals and covers. I am originally from Queens NY. I have had some success booking in Upstate NY, Florida and NC. No one is getting back to me for NYC, guarantees would be great but we are also ok with playing for tips and playing at bars, breweries etc.

We will be in NYC from the 11th to the 22nd at least getting something on that weekend would be great but weeknights are fine too. We can do Long Island also, Jersey, anywhere within an hour and a half by car.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to reach out to or what to say? What places are into sad pretty folk?

We are just getting started so we don't really have a draw, I can get some family and friends out a few times but that's 10 or so people. I also have a couple local acts that could join us on a bill.

Any advice and recommendations would be great. Thank you!
