Live Music in May

By Amanda Welch

If you’re a music lover, then chances are you can appreciate the authentic and real vibe of getting to experience a LIVE show. There’s just something about the adrenaline of the crowd… the bass in your chest beating along with the instruments… and the memories and fun you have whether you’re solo or you’re with your favorite crew.

With its rapid growth and multiple venues to offer, Huntsville is quickly becoming a PRIME location for the music industry (among many others) and is proving its love for music and the arts. May will definitely be an exciting month with many opportunities to catch live music in Huntsville and the surrounding areas. Check out what we’ve discovered below!
