For whatever reason, Unitarian churches tend to have monthly "coffeehouse" series wherein they invite folk singer/songwriters and bands to perform. It's a great place to stop on tour because they pay well and usually will even give you a place to sleep for the night, without trying to prosthyletize.
And it's a great opportunity to check out folk singer/songwriters if you're not into the smoky bar scene, and if going to coffeehouses makes you feel like you're the only person over the age of 25.
