Concert Season !!

My favorite season of the year is nearly upon us, Concert season. Growing up in Noblesville I was lucky enough to live a stones throw away from one of the midwest's best music venues in Deer Creek. After a few years of uncertainty, it seems that our beloved venue will be around for years to come and this years band lineup is quite impressive. There are dozens of shows this summer I'm hoping to attend, here is a quick list of some must see shows this summer, for me anyway
