Although May is half-over, there are still plenty of top-tier musical acts rolling through town the rest of the month, and not just at the Living Traditions Festival this coming weekend.
I realize that some people might not consider Limp Bizkit to be top-tier. To each their own.
Over the next few days, I will be publishing lists of good shows in each of the summer months, all the way through September.
