If your anything like me, a Stage Traveler, you love the inside venues for the their special intimacy and uniqueness. You look forward to the experience each venue has to offer, the unique sounds and acoustics, that sweet supple sound the red velvet upholstered walls and historical plaster delivers to your ear holes, the stories of famous beginnings, the “locals” and quite simply, the special vibe these cool “hole in the walls” and historical venues creates for us music goers.

In addition to the the wonderfully dazzling, character filled indoor music venues a Stage Traveler must never forget and must always be grateful for; the Musical Universe’s generosity, when it combined its magical forces with our great Mother Nature creating our beloved and equally unique outdoor music venues ( Thank you Thank you!) . From Boston, Massachusetts’ New England shore line to the Red Rocks of Morrison Colorado, this great country of our’s offers the most dramatic music venues and spectacular experiences, I implore you to not only peruse this list or my favorites, but take action.. book those tickets and Letzzzz GO!
