I have many yearly end articles coming out in the next few days that encapsulate all of the 2021 music events, that I usually implement to close out the year. I will be linking all of the articles into each other, so that all my readers can get the entire story of the year’s music happenings.

I spend a great deal of my personal time going to other websites and resources to find new bands and artists on a daily basis, and I have devoted a large portion of my life to the study of local music. I am not one of the “underground music sites” that only report on what is “trending” within the scene…..I report on the underdog.

Here is an extensive list of ongoing local shows in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama that I have accumulated from literally hundreds of sources, and it covers hundreds of bands and venues. PLEASE FOLKS I urge you to go support these small venues and bar staff that NEED your support, and your presence.

Here is a comprehensive list of 100 ( so far ) music festivals that I have supported throughout the years. Many of these festivals are small DIY ones, run by local blue collar folks like us! There are no boundaries to this list, from Washington to Florida, we got them all covered!

I found so many new bands and artists last year, and I wanted to share them all with you, as well as learn about new bands from other sources and lists. Currently, I am also working on my TOP 50 OF 2021, which I am releasing a little later than I usually release my list.

Additionally, I will be soon releasing an extensive up and coming list for albums coming out in 2022, as well as building up a splendid spotify list for upcoming singles and news. I personally guarantee that my list is more extensive and carefully planned than many of the other websites that I get compared to.
