Lawrence is full of music enthusiasts. Visitors of downtown notice this seconds after stepping out of their cars. On one street corner you can find a surprisingly talented sax player. At the next corner, you may find a guitar player or a drummer. Walk a couple of blocks and you are likely to hear classical or folk music coming out of the Signs of Life. If you are in the mood for rock, jazz, pop, rap, metal, bluegrass or soul, you have come to the right place. Lawrence has a strong and colorful local music scene, full of upcoming artists. The Jazzhaus, Bottleneck, Granada Theatre, Jackpot Saloon, Abe and Jake’s Landing, Replay Lounge, Liberty Hall, Eighth Street Tap Room and Last Call (to name a few) have music for every taste-bud.
Lawrence isn’t just about local bands. It’s big enough to attract big name bands and is home of the nationally recognized Walkarusa Music Festival.
If you are looking for a different style, the Lied Center has everything you could want. From ballet and classical, to contemporary and unusual (Inflatable theater… cool), the Lied Center has a show you’ll enjoy.
