Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here we go anyway. My girlfriend is going to USF for grad school (completely non-music related), and I am faced with the decision to stay where I am or follow. Of course I would like to follow her, but right now I live in Tacoma, Washington, which is about 45min south of Seattle. Seattle (and Tacoma's for that matter) jazz/music scene looks quite good, and I'm not sure about St Petersburg/Tampa, which is where USF is.

I should also share that I am a general percussionist and bass guitarist along with being a jazz vibraphonist, so I like to take non-jazz gigs too. Just within the year I decided jazz vibes are what I want to specialize in and have been shedding it. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the area? Thank you!!

Eric

I have no idea about that. Can you go and check out the scene before you make a decision?

Thanks for the reply! That'd be quite tough, especially with how things are now with the virus. I do know there's places like Disneyworld nearby which I know hire musicians.
