Get Out There Murfreesboro




Murfreesboro and Nashville have some great local musical talent. In the MTSU area alone there are hundreds of bands forming, changing, and performing every week. Most of the 21+ crowd can be found on any given night crowding Graffiti, Wall Street, Liquid Smoke, Blue Rooster (formerly Bluesboro), The Burro , Club 527 and many more venues listening to live music and drinking cheap beer. These venues offer students a chance to sample some of the local bands for next to nothing. I would advise you to go out and make the most of this opportunity. Though many of you have never heard some of the bands featured at any of these fine establishments, you should step out on a limb and try something new. This was my experience on Friday night and I got an unexpected treat. A band from Nashville was featured at the Blue Rooster-which by the way is almost exactly like Bluesboro-and they were great. They not only covered some of the best hits throughout the 80-90's, there were some highly acclaimed artists on that stage that have worked very close with the likes of country star Garth Brooks to funny man Conan O'Brian. Don't forget to check out this week's 'Band of the Week' to find out who I saw last weekend and get out there this weekend to sample some music for yourself.
Cheers!
