Strumming Tunes and Sipping Brews: Where to Find Live Music in Roswell

Oct 26, 2020

2020 has been a wild year, and if you’re anything like us, you’re missing regular concerts at your favorite Atlanta venues. While this year has taught us that health and family are the important things in life, we can’t help but yearn for the old days of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers in a large open venue, bopping to the tunes of our favorite artists. While crowded concerts aren’t likely to reappear any time soon, that doesn’t mean live music has to disappear completely.

With the gorgeous fall weather in Georgia, more people are heading outside to indulge in whatever pastimes they can, including dining at their favorite restaurants. Many restaurants are continuing to employ live musicians to play for patrons, bringing a sense of normalcy to a year that has been anything but. If you’re looking for live music near you, head to 1920 Tavern for a night of relaxing tunes and a downtown atmosphere.
