When I was at Wes there was a band Dr Mezzi Fights Infection. I think lead was pre-med. |

Broadly speaking, I would love to see/hear a concert in Northwestern University's new Ryan Stadium in Evanston (where the undergraduate campus is located). Opens in Fall, 2026. Seats 35,000. Not a bad seat in the house. NU received permission to host 6 concerts per year in this venue.
Otherwise,lots of music activity in small venues on campus as well as in adjacent city of Chicago. Easy access to Chicago. |

University of Colorado at Boulder. Red Rocks Amphitheater is within a reasonable drive. Incredible venue !
Any school in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Chastain Park Amphitheater is a wonderful place to see & hear a concert. |

| Hudson Valley is where a lot of the NYC hipster scene decamped to during Covid, and it's lined with colleges like Vassar, Bard, SUNY New Paltz and Skidmore that have good music scenes. Beautiful area. |

| UVA 100%. Almost every fraternity has a house band. Band parties are very common. |

That was back in the 80's and 90's. That was the golden era with Prince, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Semisonic etc. |
