How to Find the Best Concerts in Town!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

Since we go to school in Music City, we really should be taking advantage of all of the amazing music opportunities. There are always awesome shows going on at small clubs and venues, but I never know when or where they are. I previously thought that you had to be an insider in the music business to know when all of the cool stuff was happening. However, if you are someone like me who loves music and wants to find out beforehand about the best but least publicized concerts, then I have the perfect website that will make you a feel like a music insider.

Songkick.com is a website that I was recently introduced to, and it is truly amazing. The aspect that I love most is that it shows every single concert, no matter how big or small. Many concert websites don’t include information about local bands playing at bars, but songkick has it all. It also doesn’t matter where you live, because no matter how small your town, there is sure to be some sort of venue or event offering live music. For those of you who have never heard of songkick, go on and explore. You never know who you may discover or when your favorite band may be coming to town! So when you want to look like you have insider concert information, go onto songkick and impress your friends with your newfound knowledge.

 

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
