Where to Catch Live Music in LA for Free (or Cheap!)
Episode description
#78: L.A. is the music capital of the world. It's where all the big studios are, almost every famous musician lives here, there are major concerts every night of the week. BUT, with huge price tags for concerts these days (and soaring ticketing platform fees...) it can feel hard to find places to see live music that are actually accessible (i.e. free or cheap).
Today, HTLA producers Evan Jacoby and Megan Botel take you to a few spots around town where you can see live music without breaking the bank.
