LIVE MUSIC THIS WEEKEND IN DESTIN

April 5, 2012 8:46 AM

Leaving for Destin, Florida tomorrow morning, staying in Niceville. I'll be traveling with my musician boyfriend. We will want to catch a live show Friday and Saturday nights. Are there any great bands playing in the area? Cover bands do not qualify.

He is currently fronting a punk rock band but plays everything, right down to country, so genre isn't an issue with him. I'm more of singer/songwriter kind of girl, but I love a band that I can dance to. My favorite local bands (here in La.) are Winbourne and The Chris Leblanc Band. www.winbournemusic.com

We will be staying at the Hampton Inn in Niceville and will have a car. Suggestions for quirky things to do are also welcome.

Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid you might be out of luck. That area usually just has cover bands or really old bands out making the circuit.

About an hour away from Niceville/Destin is Pensacola, and you're bound to find a live show or two there tonight. Try calling Sluggo's, End of the Line, the handlebar, or The Factory to see if they've go anything on this weekend.

Good luck!
