Below is a list of shows I’m especially hyped about. “Best” is always up for debate, but these are the ones I’d recommend without hesitation based on what these bands have done over the years. And hey, there’s plenty more out there—so if you’re curious, check out the venue links and dig a little deeper.

If someone tells you there’s nothing to do in Connecticut, send them my way—because that’s just plain wrong. It’s not a factual statement, it’s nonsense. Bunk. Bupkis. Garbage.

The best part? Most of what we have happens in clean, safe, well-run places. If you’ve been to events in other parts of the country, you know the feeling—sometimes you leave needing a bodyguard and a shower (in that order).

So get out there and see what CT has to offer this summer. You won’t regret it. And if anyone asks who sent you—don't say me. They might toss you out.
