As always there is a lot of live local music in the Peoria area this weekend, and we’ve put everything we know about in one place to help you decide where to go!

We are aware that our FB “Events” tab does not always work when you need it to and are in contact a couple of times a week trying to fix it. The good news is, this link, when opened in a browser, does work. It’s not ideal, but it’s a workaround for when you need to know what’s going on in between blog posts!
