Bandsintown

I have never been a die-hard music person. While I gravitate to certain artists at different times in my life, I wouldn't classify myself by any specific band or genre of music. I know what I like when I hear it, but more often than not I am listening to a book or Podcast during my prime listening hours. Nonetheless, if one wishes to delve into live music further, there is no better app than BandinTown. It will probe into your digital music files so that it can figure out which artists and music you like and tells you who is playing where. You even get updates from the bands you love telling you when they are coming to your town. If you are merely looking for discovery, you can peruse what is playing nearby. Of course, Leonard Cohen won't be performing anytime soon, but maybe I can find Rufus Wainwright singing Hallelujah or Martha Wainwright's version of Chelsea Hotel.
