This blog is about finding great places to hear great music in Michiana. For the record, no, I don't think that our area is necessarily the best place in the world to find great music venues. But, as with anything in life, if you look hard enough, you will find what you're looking for. The fact that good music venues are hard to find in Michiana is exactly why finding some make them all the more precious! So, I am creating this blog to help other music lovers like myself find out about some great venues in the region, and perhaps start some conversations about creating new venues for some of the great talent we do have in our area.
Part of the problem is ourselves. I know that many people in the region simply don't think of a night out at some concert as the first option on their agenda. I am not sure why this is, I know that life can be busy for many of us, and perhaps people are simply to tired to go out. This is a talking point I would be interested to hear other people's opinion on. I am a musician and song-writer myself and have numerous musician friends who are incredibly talented, so I know that we don't have a shortage of talent in our area, rather, we find a shortage of platforms to showcase that talent. I hope this blog can serve as a platform for people to find new favorite venues and maybe even inspire some new ones along the way.
