July 2014 Concert Calendar

I started this blog to let people know about all the good music that's out there. Sometimes folks become a bit negative about the state of the music industry. I understand, but there is a tremendous amount of excellent music if you just look for it. Here is a list of concerts you might be interested in for the month of July, 2014. Most of these are bands that I've reviewed, though some are some bands that I haven't yet written about, but really like. I will try to add to this calendar as much as I can throughout the month.
