Support Local Music!

2011-05-17T15:05:00.000-07:00

When you support local live music, you're giving financial and moral support to local musicians, and you're contributing to the local economy through your support of the local clubs. In addition, your support of local live music sometimes gives local musicians an opportunity to gain a nationwide audience, which could lead to record deals. So get out and support!!!

indie music and dive bars

Indie Music:

In popular music, independent music, often generally abbreviated as "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.
Independent labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels. Artists represented by Independent labels have been known to be focused more on producing music than becoming wealthy and/or well known.

Dive Bars:

Modern day people would refer to a “dive bar” as a less main stream bar. The opposite of popular night clubs. A dive bar has a tendency to have a more laid back atmosphere, with less need for a dress code. Many dives are rougher around the edges, yet uphold a frequent crowd or regular patrons.
