Bands are Playing. Yo u should go.

Live music! In Rochester! Every single week! We have an actual music scene. I’ve rounded up all the shows worth checking out, so whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ve got options. Go see a band! They will love you forever.

Also—exciting news! The Sound is launching a podcast where I chat with the people shaping our local scene. Musicians, venue owners, bookers, the unsung heroes making cool things happen. It’s gonna be a good time, and you should absolutely subscribe. Oh, and if you’ve got a show coming up, submit it! I can’t list what I don’t know exists.
