This Weekend’s Live Music for Live Audiences

Ghost, Volbeat, Killswitch Engage, August Burns Red, Light the Torch, Morgan Wallen, Waxahatchee, Washed Out, NMB-The Neal Morse Band, Remi Wolf, Metronomy, Drew & Ellie Holcomb, and Kevin Griffin were among the many music acts that performed on the larger stages in the New York City area earlier this week. Countless other musicians also performed the smaller bars, clubs and music venues. Much more good music will be happening this weekend.
