Summer music is upon us, pandemic be damned.
Life has certainly changed, and while the calendar isn’t as robust as we’d have in our pre-covid-19 lives, there’s still plenty to take in.
For those willing to throw caution to the wind, there are plenty of places and events to fill up the social calendar.
For those not willing to take any chances, Appleton’s Heid Music Concert Series will debut in a livestream format with the shows pumping into your homes via Facebook.
For those in between, Future Neenah’s Summer Concert Series will open up in drive-in format, offering music in person, though with social distancing in place.
There’s something for everyone — and of all comfort levels. Wherever you fit on the scale, don’t let July pass without taking in some live, local music.
