Who doesn’t love going to concerts (aside from my 5 month year old twin nephews who really seem to value their sleep)?
If spring means anything, aside from the warmer weather and finally having leaves on the trees again, it means the start of concerts on warm spring and summer nights. Just thinking about it gives me chills.
With plenty of venues, both big and small, indoor and outdoor, it’s no wonder why artists always make it a point to stop in the 614 for a little noisemaking and dancing.
If you’re out of the loop and haven’t been paying attention to which musicians will be coming to town in the near future, we’ve got you covered with these can’t-miss concerts in May.
