New York is one of the best places to see a live show. From the
big-name artists that come through on tour to the bands working their way up at
the smaller clubs, the area is filled with amazing music every day of the week.
That includes this weekend as well.
This weekend is overflowing with amazing shows just begging
for your attention. From punk rockers like the Bouncing Souls and T.S.O.L. to
pop juggernauts like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran to established rock artists
like Cyndi Lauper and Todd Rundgren, there are a lot of great artists in town.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves live music.
