Going to concerts creates meaningful memories- through loud music, dancing, and an experience like no other. In my opinion, they are the best way to spend your free time this semester. Concerts connect people through music, help you live in the moment, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

The Criticals at House of Blues Cleveland on April 14, 2023:
If you like listening to indie/alternative music, you definitely need to check out The Criticals show at the House of Blues Cleveland. Despite making music since 2018, the group has only started to gain popularity in the past few months. The Criticals base most of their recorded music and live shows around youth and honesty, much like many other iconic rock bands. If you prefer a more intimate show with some mellow-rock music, you need to see this band live.

Concerts are a great way to meet new people, enjoy live music, and, most importantly, have fun. For more cost-friendly budgets, small local venues like The Grog Shop and Beachland Ballroom have plenty of great shows weekly. And remember, a little bit of live music therapy has never hurt anyone.
