Live music takes center stage this February in the Roanoke Valley in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

The winter is a great time of year to experience the arts & culture scene in the region as many of our music and performing arts venues pack the calendar with events, concerts, and shows. You can also warm up with a visit to any of our local craft breweries, which regularly feature live music.

Jam out with Broccoli Samurai (February 23) at Martin’s Downtown Bar & Grill, listen to the soothing voice of Michael McDonald (February 12) at the Harvester Performance Center, and be mesmerized by the instrumental skills of Vieux Farka Toure (February 28) at 5 Points Music Sanctuary. 

Check out the VBR Music Scene Spotify playlist to get more familiar with the bands performing this month in Virginia’s Blue Ridge. It’s one of numerous playlists on our visitvbr Spotify channel that showcases the unique live music scene.

The following is a sampling of some this month's local shows:
