Driftless Stories -

Live Music!

We here at Inspire(d) HQ love live music - and we want to help get the word out about events happening in the Driftless! Below, we did our best to compile a list of the hard-working folks we know making live music happen. Click the links to head over to their websites or social media pages to see what and who they've got coming to a town near you. Did we miss a venue or live music locale? Let us know and we'll do our best to add them to the list!

Want to get us word about a place we missed?
Send us a note and your link details through our contact page!
Thanks!
