Why go to Live Music?
Music, not only a word but a religion. The language beyond border. No human is untouched from it. It brings people together. And perfect way to explore together is a live show. All people listening to same note with same aura around is a marvelous way to bond.
Going to a concert is so much more than just something you do for a day, or something you do for a couple of days if you go to a festival. Going to a live music event is something completely different to anything recreational that you will do. When you think about listening to music, earbuds and mp3 immediately come to mind, isn’t it? If you can’t remember the last time you saw a live performance, this list is for you! Read on to find out the five most important reasons why live music matters and then make plans to see a concert soon!
1. See the Work
Making music is not an easy job. Its not entirely a product of happy times and emotions. Creating something takes time, effort and a whole dose of commitment, dedication and energy. If you rarely see live music, it is easy to forget how much work goes into that killer beat, sweet riff, or catchy melody. Go to a show and get close enough to see the real thing. You will definitely walk away with a deeper appreciation for what musicians do.
2. Learn
Do you want to learn how to be a better performer yourself? Are you stuck with your own rig and need some inspiration. One of the best ways to learn is by watching other artists to see what they do. You might discover a cool guitar move, a way of engaging a crowd, or a combination of instruments or effects that you never thought of.
3. Collective Experiences
Spending time with friends or family enjoying live music is a great way to bond. Shared musical experiences will become memories that can last a lifetime. You will always remember the time your best friend took you to see your favorite band or the new artist who surprised you with their talent or their message. The amount of music you can absorb from the live show will never be the same as recorded music.
4. Unplug
It is becoming more common for audiences to watch performances through their smartphone cameras, attending a live music event is actually a great opportunity to unplug from your devices and enjoy the present moment. There is so much to see, hear, and feel at a performance, so don’t spend your time glued to a screen. A perfect way to loose your digital life to feel something extraordinary
5. Support Artists
It has always been hard to make a living as an artist, and it is particularly difficult now that so much music is available for free online. Many musicians now make more money performing than they do from their recordings, so if there is an artist whose work moves you one of the best ways to show your support is to attend their next concert. Especially for independent artists playing in smaller venues, a supportive audience is one of the most wonderful things a musician can see.
