September kicked off with a whole lot of live music!
Last Friday was September’s First Friday, and we made our way around Peoria to catch Eli Rea Gaddi, Kelly Damann, Pete Wald, Kev & Mal, and Lilianna Fehr.
One of the best things about First Fridays is seeing people move around the city, discovering new places, meeting new people, and experiencing local art and music along the way. It’s a great reminder of just how much creativity and community we have right here in Peoria.
This week’s weekend post brings you photos and videos from all five stops, plus another huge list of live music happening around the Peoria area this weekend.
Take a look, find something that sounds good, and get out there and support some live local music!
As you read through your options of where to go for live local music here please remember:
You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
appreciate what we do?
