On the Scene lists all of the shows in town, every week. They have a website and a Facebook page.

Molly Healey, Ben Miller, Pat Kay, MK Ultra for traditional instruments made weird. Think folk songs with cigar box guitars and cellos ran through loopers and synths.

I. V. King is currently in lesbian revenge pop royalty mode, and is one of the area's most talented artists. The Shandies for a more folky bent.

Brandon Moore, Jimmy Rea, and all of their various projects for funky bluegrassy bouncy Ozarks music. Justin Larkin for more of that kind of thing with a dirtier, grittier feel.

Shaun Munday, Randall Shreve, Averill Cates for one-man-band amazingness. Funk, "Showman" (idk how else to describe it, his latest album reminds me of a circus ringleader in all the best ways), and Gothic Folk are their genres.

Red Light Runner, the Mixtapes, Rosy Hips, and Just a Phase for covers of everything on the radio in the last 40 years.

I know less about the local metal scene, but Mortal Review fucking shreds.

The Many Colored Death, Steve Ames, Hamburger Cows, Seth Darby, the Sauce, Sister Lucille, Shotgun Brothers, Hillbenders, Paralandra, all very talented bands and artists worth their ticket price.

We're absolutely spoiled for talent in this town.

Edit: there are a couple places for jazz, the Dugout does an open mic night that sees a bunch of old-timers play with college students, Lindberg's just started up a jazz night, and one of the breweries downtown hosts a jazz night, I think Hold Fast?

Also follow Roots and Radicals on Facebook, they promote mostly punk and ska type shows.
