We had some hot days this week… but this weekend’s forecast is much better… especially when it comes to live music! There are so many great options.
Speaking of The Forecast - I had never heard of this band before they sold out Kenny’s last weekend. But I figured if Kenny’s is sold out, that’s where I need to be too. They last played a show right around the time Peoria Music Live was created. It was a great show and I hope to see them again soon!
Check out these pictures and videos from all the bands I saw in the last week… Goodnight Gracie, Terribly Happy, The Forecast, Projekts, and the Sweet Water Warblers. (And don’t forget to check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel so you can see the other videos that will go up this week as well!)
