It’s the most wonder-thrill time of the year! Even in the already exciting world of live music, Halloween shows always seem to be packed with extra fun and surprises. Whether your favorite band is dressed in a whacky theme, bringing out the tricks and treats, or covering their own favorite band- you can never go wrong with grabbing some friends, throwing on your best costume, and seeing some live music on the spookiest night of the year! This year Halloween falls on a Tuesday so the weekend before is jam packed with opportunities to dress up and dance. Why not start early and take advantage of extra nights of costume changes?
