Sure, all the biggest names in music make frequent stops through Columbus every year.
Sure, we have one of the largest country music festivals every year with Buckeye Country Superfest.
Sure, all of these concerts are super fun and enjoyable.
But local Columbus musicians aren’t to be slept on, either! The Columbus music scene is thriving with talented artists that are working hard to get their big break so that they too can tour all over the world.
Not only does supporting local live music benefit the artists, it also makes Columbus a much richer and vibrant city to live in! So do yourself a favor and head out to one of these local concerts. You’ll be glad you did.
