Hi :) I'm not IN boston, but it's like an hour away from me, so I know a pretty good amount about the city. There's lots of great venues around (Paradise rock club, the Middle East, House of Blues...) and lots of bands come into nearby colleges as well. I'd assume there's a great music scene within Berklee itself as well, considering it's like one of the best music schools around. www.tourfilter.com is very helpful with looking up shows and stuff, and you can usually just click on Boston, and it will list all the upcoming concerts in the area, both big and small ones. Hope I helped! :)
Kentucky or Tennessee?
