Don't make us regret this.... 🔥 what's your 518 music hot take?

A venue you think deserves more love. A genre we need more of. A local music opinion you'll defend forever. Keep it friendly — but don't be afraid to stir the pot a little 😂

To be clear: A. LITTLE. 🤏 Let's hear it!

We love our local musicians, but there's a bunch of people behind the scenes that promote and make them sound so good!

Let's give someone their flowers 💐 Who's someone behind the scenes making the 518 music community better?

Photographers. Sound engineers. Promoters. Venue staff. Producers. Teachers. Radio personalities. Crew members. Superfans... tag someone who deserves a little recognition today👇
