twiddling my thumbs here in savannah, ga - i'm guessing the closest chipshows to here are mainly in atlanta?
moving here late october was a BIG mistake musically, the majority treats chipmusic like some kind of alien noise incomparable to their usual heavily-autotuned idiot singing about something they don't care about at 150 dB.
Savannah is such a badass town. I tried setting a show up there last august without luck, though. I just couldn't find a venue besides the wormhole and some rock bar on tybee. Goodluck, if you find a spot to play, I got some friends down there that would probably like to check you out.
i've never set up a live show before and i don't think i want to try given, one, i'm an underage neckbeard (16), and two, the only thing the majority of this place listens to is rap, rap, and more rap (as if i didn't already try to make that clear enough. there's also a bit of a jazz community here but that really doesn't help)

there are a few people doing music in charleston, and you already mention atlanta. atlanta would be your closest for shows i think...
you should probably orient your audience to the SCAD kids, they'll be more receptive possibly. people i've known go there are very open-minded, about music as well

well hell, i hadn't even CONSIDERED the audience in SCAD, kitsch. that might actually work.
Do covers of jazz standards. Seriously. I did that when I busked in Savannah last Spring, people thought it was cool.

This. Jazz guys are usually pretty receptive to different forms of music.

As someone who has been to Savannah six different times over the past two years for jazz gigs, I can fully back this. I am currently working on a jazz set with LSDJ to record for my next album. My trombone playing is up to par, but I need to get a bit better at trumpet before I can record it all.
