You don’t have to travel all the way into Manhattan to find live music. Long Island has plenty of music venues growing in numbers all the time. Various bands make their way through the Long Island scene while heading for the big time. Just think of Billy Joel (hailing from Hicksville), Taking Back Sunday (from the Amityville area), Brand New (from Merrick), Dream Theater (from Kings Park). All of these musicians, plus so many more, got their start on Long Island playing the circuit and currently sell out shows where ever they play, often returning to their Long Island roots. Stop by the following venues, between the bunch you are almost guaranteed something to do for every night of the week. And the unknown band you see Friday could be selling out Madison Square Garden in a few years.
