THANK YOU! Hard to believe but it's been a YEAR since I started writing this blog. The intention was to help everyone from hard core music fan to the the random weekend warrior navigate what's going on in live original music in the Gem City. We are the birthplace of funk and have birthed some of the most influential indie rock ever. We have a legacy to be proud of! That legacy continues with our support of the current music scene. We are making history now with innovative acts like Good English and Nightbeast, among many others, like Subterranean, who astound me with their talent and creativity.
Thank YOU for being a cool person who values getting away from your television for a night and seeing live new art and music in your hometown. The arts are the heartbeat of town, and we are the ones keeping it strong! J
