International,
roots, rap, soul, indie-rock, punk and more. I used to list edgier rock
separately at the bottom, but am now just putting everything together. I include some locally based act gigs, but
not all. I also don’t have time or space to add most jazz, classical, folk, metal
or other genres.
Look for
additional shows & more info to be added through the month at my blog:
