Why Go Listen Live?  Well, it was in response to the question we often asked ourselves as we pondered what we wanted to do as the weekend approached.  And often our answer was "Why not go somewhere fun and enjoy a nice meal, or drinks and appetizers, and listen to live music?".

As we set off to do these things we determined it would be helpful to create an online database to track the many musicians, bands and venues that we wanted to explore while on our journey into the future.

So it began.  The more we explored, the more we added to the database.  And the more we added to the database, the more we enjoyed exploring!  It was like a perpetual fun machine, because there are so many talented musicians and fun places to be explored!  And along the way we've met some really cool people, whether they were other customers like us, or the musicians and venue owners.

Then somewhere along the way we realized we should share our database with others, so that everyone else can explore and have fun just like us.  So here it is, in all it's glory.  It still has a long way to go, but you should've seen the early versions (yikes!) to get an idea of how far our little project has come.

As we continue on our journey, we'll keep expanding and improving Go Listen Live.  We hope you'll enjoy this as much as we do, and also encourage you to submit comments, suggestions or recommendations for musicians and venues.

And above all, let's get out and support our local music communities.  By doing this we all win!

And oh yeah, now you can follow our Facebook page for upcoming live music events!
