Concert Venues, Dallas
Dear Dallas,
After attending several shows in the last two months, I have noticed that your smaller, club-like venues put on better all around shows. From the intimacy and sound to the easier to deal with crowds and selection of bands, the smaller venues have shown to be a better, far superior experience to your larger venues. With the rebirth of Deep Ellem, the old standards that never closed and the newer venues on the scene, I thought it would only be appropriate to list the Top 5 Small Live Music Venues for the Dallas area:
1. Granada Theater
2. The Loft
3. Trees
4. Palladium Ballroom
5. House of Blues
Each of these venues offer an intimate setting, not only with your fellow concert goers but with the band as well. The tickets are cheaper, parking is easier and bands are better.
Next time you are searching for something to do, check out the events calendars at these venues and support an artist. We just might meet over a beer and a ballad!
Stay shallow Dallas.
XOXO,
Alexandra
