For an Original Date Idea, Go Enjoy a Local Band

Spending hours in a car isn’t very enjoyable so, for an original date idea, head to your town’s venue to see a local band in a more relaxed and comfortable environment.

For music lovers, driving long distances to the nearest arena or stadium for a concert can be inconvenient.

This is particularly true if you’re on a date, especially if it’s someone you’re meeting for the first or second time.

Unlike large concert arenas, where strict rules and high prices limit the amount you can drink and eat while seeing a show, local venues are much more laid-back and enjoyable.

Head to an area club to not only enjoy a musical performance, but drinks and dancing as well.

There’s more freedom to move and a greater ability to talk to your date in a smaller setting because there’s always a place to go to escape the music and chat intimately.

This is a fun date and the perfect environment for a first date because you can talk to one another when you want to but the music and dancing serves as a nice distraction to avoid being uncomfortable.

If you prefer to pay close attention to the music, another great date idea is to head to a local jazz club where live performances are accompanied by dinner, drinks or appetizers.

Sit intimately with one another at a booth or table as you watch and listen to the music.

Jazz clubs have a unique ambiance to them that creates a romantic, hip and trendy experience.

For classical music lovers, most towns have high school, college or local orchestras who perform fairly regularly. An original date idea could be dinner followed by a performance at your local auditorium.

The same can be said of chorus groups, which can range in size from 10 to hundreds of members. Look for these kinds of performances in the spring and fall, when school is in session.

Rather than traveling to see a concert, head to a local venue to take in a smaller show.

Local clubs often host bands that you can dance to while enjoying cocktails in a laid back setting.

For a more intimate original date idea, go to a jazz club where you can sit and enjoy the hip, trendy music.

Many high schools and colleges have orchestra and chorus groups who perform regularly for a low price in a smaller auditorium where the crowds are minimal but the sound is great.
