Small Venues = An Intimate Music Experience

When an artist plays a Firefly Music show they are playing from the heart, and the music means so much more because of that. They see their music being celebrated in such a perfect environment, and they remember why they started making that music in the first place. Attend a Firefly concert and you’ll see the artist and crowd drawing swiftly together in laughter and in song, opening both up to an experience that is unparalleled anywhere else.
You’ll see why numerous artists have proclaimed that Firefly shows are their favorite to play anywhere, and fans say they can’t imagine going to see live music anywhere else.

I live in South Ga. For health reasons I would like to move to Blue Ridge. I wrote and sing Country and Gospel and play guitar. Sounds like the town I need to be in for people who love music. I’m 60 by the way.
