April 2016 Concert Calendar

I started this blog to let people know about all the good music that's out there. I only review CDs that I like. The rest I leave to everyone else. In addition, I try to keep track of where those artists are performing. So here is a list of a few concerts you might be interested in for the month of April, 2016. Most of these are artists that I've reviewed. I will try to add to this calendar whenever I can throughout the month.
