Once again like others said, drop Facebook! Lots of fake profiles, scam ads and miss information.

I agree but fb is the only place for musicians and show/event notifications, not to mention TONs of non tech savvy small businesses use fb SOLELY for their business info and hours.

Its never going away.

Bands In Town works pretty well for all the bands I follow.

Business info can be found anywhere through duckduckgo, google or with a phone call! I never knew that musicians use FB, I guess for promotions ? After leaving FB I used YouTube and bandcamp for new music.

I meant local music and such. There's no other avenue right now for that. Local city events too
