Bands In Town

Hello everyone!
Today I would like to share with you an application that I have recently stumbled upon, the application is called Bands In Town and it is iOs and Android compatible. Bands In Town allows the user to enter in their location or preferred location while it searches local venues for upcoming events. Once the upcoming events are posted, the application will notify you of the date, time, and venue, along with ticket prices that can be bought through the retailer.

Before finding this application I found it very hard to discover upcoming concerts without hearing about it through friends or on the local radio. There were always those times when I was unfortunate enough to buy tickets due to my lack of knowledge for an upcoming show. For a person like me this can be the worst feeling. Especially if you have been a die hard fan of the Backstreet Boys for years and come to find out that the concert you have been waiting to go to since you were nine years old, dancing in your platform sneakers is completely sold out. If you thought you were going to go...you better start checking Craigslist sister.

With the Bands in Town application you no longer have to worry about missing another Backstreet Boys concert. When signing up with the application, it takes down your e-mail address and sends you notifications each time a new concert posts, allowing the user to stay posted months in advance. A sure way to ensure that you never miss another event again.

Free Concerts

Hello everyone,
Today I will be informing you of free concerts, because who doesn't like free entertainment?
Every month you can find these free concerts at Kansas City's Power and Light District. The shows usually start at around 7:30 pm and have a wide genre of artists that play, plus the venue is HUGE! Power and Light is an outside bar that features over six different bars in one. Each bar has a different theme. A spot for each and every person. If you like to ride rodeo bulls, there is a PBR country if you like rock music, there is an Angels Rock Bar with women who swing from the ceiling, talk about a craze.

You can check out this venue and the artists who will be performing by clicking my event calendar  link below. The event calendar provides all of the artists and events that Power and Light will be holding for the next few months. I hope you enjoy.

N'awlins Ya'll

Hey ya’ll! I recently took a trip to the great city of N’awlins, (a southern way of saying New Orleans) and needless to say they have great music. The whole city is flourishing with culture. You can see everything from local artists showing their work on the streets to fortune-tellers seeking to sell their skill to you.
My main focus was nothing other than the music of course! I could not help but notice that every time I walked to a new street corner or past a bar there was the most captivating live music playing. New Orleans is known for their brass bands and the sound that screams soul into your ears. You almost feel a hypnotizing effect that draws you near, making it almost impossible to not want to move your body in rhythm of the music once you are inside.

My favorite spot for live music in the French Quarter is a bar called The Spotted Cat Music Club. There are brass bands and local singers who perform daily. There is even a small taco bar inside which sells pineapple pork tacos, incase your hunger strikes, and I must say they are well worth the try. Another music club that is worth checking out is The Maison. They feature local bands such as Lagniappe, who have even recently performed their funky ensemble in New York City.


If ever you decide to take the trip to NOLA, remember that there is much more to see than just Bourbon Street. Take a walk down to Frenchman and give yourself a treat to the best side New Orleans has to offer.

Above I have also posted a video I found of an actual brass band that you can find on Frenchman Street in NOLA. Hope you enjoy!
