Some weeks hit harder than others. This one knocked the wind out of me early, and I’ve been trying to catch my breath ever since.
So, while this post isn’t as full as usual, the important part - the listings of all the live local music we know about - is below. There’s no shortage of great shows, and I’ve pulled together everything you need to know to plan your weekend around it.
📸 I’ll be posting more PBHF photos soon, and in the meantime, we’ve got some great Labor Day weekend videos already up here, more on our YouTube channel, and more to come. Go take a look, and maybe spot yourself in the crowd!
As you read through your options of where to go for live local music here, you may have a brief moment where you think maybe you’ll just stay in this weekend. Just remember:
You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
appreciate what we do?
