Live music any way we can get it, even for a casual night out with friends, is a super healthy idea for all of us.

According to the Blue Ocean website, bands paying tribute to Journey, U2, The Who, Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, Dave Mathews Band, Queen, Grateful Dead, and Chicago to name a few, are taking the stage throughout March and into spring to take us down memory lane.
