Welcome Amoore!
There are a few of us up here in Phoenix, but can't remember seeing anyone from Tucson. I'd go see the fine folks at The Folk Shop...I'm sure if there's a group in Tucson, they'll know about it. Plus, lots a way cool instruments to play while you're there!
Good luck...let us know if you get up to Phoenix. There are several weekly groups here, a couple of coffee shops that host shows, plus the Aloha Festival in the spring (I think...).
