We have a great music and art scene in our area of Illinois just across the river from St. Louis Mo that we call the Riverbend.
Our goal is to provide a guide for music fans that's easy to access. Bookmark our page and check out a list of live performances each week below.
We also believe our site is a great resource for bands and venues.
Find Venues with links below to book a live performance.
Promote your act or live performance on our radio show Riverbend Talent on 107.1fm on Thursdays at 6pm.
If you are a venue looking for bands find links and information in the description section of our radio show and live videos.
We can provide live sound for your event Higher Sounds
