Downtown Music Hall

Downtown Music Hall in Little Rock Arkansas is a neat, down to earth venue established a couple of years ago. The original owner, Alan Wells, thought there should be a venue that people could have a good time and not get yelled at by rude employees. The main reason it was put together was for people who love the music scene of Arkansas, and dislike the hate that people put on it. It is a place for friends to come together around diverse tunes.

Downtown Music Hall hosts shows that many people can enjoy. Some of the past bands, of many who have performed at the venue are; Of Mice and Men, I Set My Friends on Fire, Sleeping with Sirens, Woe is Me and Amity Affliction. The venue usually has shows at night around 6 p.m and lasts about 4 or 5 hours. The amount of bands performing can range from more than 10, if its battle of the bands, to 3.  The shows usually get pretty intense with people dancing wildly to their favorite bands, but if you aren’t into dancing, the back half of the venue is pretty chill for standing and watching.

At the venue, there are tables set up as you walk in the doors that the band members hang around until their set is up. Afterwards they go back to the merch tables and sign shirts or what else you might be wanting autographed and take pictures with fans. The bands get super psyched to have such loving fans.

Downtown Music Hall throws events like this every weekend, there’s no age limit, though you have to be of age to drink. It’s a good time for anyone who wants to be part of and digs the music scene.
