We’re in the first full weekend in March. That means spring is just around the corner. It also means that a few more places may start hosting live music outdoors again. It may be a few weeks away but, it’s getting closer. In the meantime, we have a pretty solid lineup for this week and the list seems to be growing. It’s still important, even with many of the restrictions being eased or lifted, to continue to stay safe and follow the guidelines as things begin to try to get “back to normal”. There are several on-line events you can tune in to if you are not yet ready to venture out. Either way, let’s continue to help support the artists and the venues that bring us live music each week.
If you would like your events listed here each week, it’s pretty simple. Send me your schedule by Wednesday evening by using the “contact us” form on the website, Facebook messenger or email at lvvoicesofthevalley@gmail.com. Whether you are a solo artist, a full band or a venue manager/owner, I’ll promote your events right here each week. Please take a moment to like and share Voices of the Valley on Facebook. Thank you for all the support ! Here’s the week in music.
