Lunchtime Concerts

These concerts are generally held in a park or patio, and are intended as lunch time entertainment. Often these are acoustic, or softer music. Many of these have food trucks or vendors near by.

Fairs, Fests, and Outdoor Concerts

This list contains the yearly fests, fairs, and outdoor concerts that are not specifically tied to a bar or restaurant.

Bar and Restaurant Gigs

The list here includes the typical live band at a bar, usually held indoors throughout the year, but may be outside during the summer.

National Acts

These are stand-alone concerts specifically for a national artist.

If a national act is playing at Waterfest, for example, that artist would be listed in the fairs and fests section, not here.
