A must-have for live music fans.
If there’s one thing that can be agreed upon by every music fan, it’s the sanctity of going to a concert and seeing your favorite artist perform their biggest hits live. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Red Dirt fan, a pop country fan or a bluegrass fan; there’s a nearly indescribable feeling that you get when the lights go dark, the crowd begins to scream and you wait to hear the first note of the opening song of a set.
For me and many others, it’s an experience that can nearly be described as spiritual. Thousands of people from all walks of life gathered together in camaraderie with only one thing on their minds: the music. There’s truly nothing like it, and typically, the most devastating aspect of a concert isn’t the experience. Instead, it’s the sinking feeling that you’re never going to experience that moment again — outside of a few videos saved on your phone.
What if I told you there’s a streaming service that not only captures the live recordings of some of your favorite artists straight from the soundboard, but also brings you front row to shows that you can’t attend? That’s where nugs comes in.
In case you’re unfamiliar with nugs, it’s the is the premier destination for concert livestreams, on-demand concert video, and high-quality audio. Providing fans with access to their favorite artists, nugs makes it easy to experience the energy and excitement of live music from anywhere. Being the leading live music streaming platform, they own the largest collection of live shows, including live performances from some of the world’s largest touring artists like Metallica, Pearl Jam, Dead & Company and many, many more.
It’s not just jam bands that are shown love by the streaming platform, however. They house dozens of live performance videos and audio from country music and the bluegrass genre’s very best artists, including the likes of Eric Church, Billy Strings, Johnny Blue Skies (formerly known as Sturgill Simpson), Tyler Childers, 49 Winchester, Charles Wesley Godwin, Colby Acuff, Jason Isbell, Marcus King Band, Mountain Grass Unit, Randy Rogers Band, Zac Brown Band and more.
What makes nugs so special, especially lately, is not just its stunning amount of video and audio archives from some of the greatest touring artists in country music and abroad, but also its livestreams. And they’re keeping them coming early and often with four of the aforementioned artists throughout the month of September.
Kicking the month off is none other than one of the greatest guitarists in country music today, Marcus King, who will be streaming his September 11th show in Raleigh, North Carolina, at Red Hat Amphitheater.
For Johnny Blue Skies, the streaming service will be exclusively live-streaming four key shows throughout the Mutiny for the Masses Tour: Berkeley, California (Sept. 15), Denver, Colorado (Sept. 23), Nashville, Tennessee (Oct. 2) and Lexington, Kentucky (Oct. 30).
Not to be outdone, Zac Brown Band will air two shows from the Love & Fear Tour in both Charleston, South Carolina, and Tampa, Florida, on September 17th and 18th, with their back-to-back nights at Red Rocks in October airing live from the platform as well. These shows come on the heels of the Georgia band’s huge show at Fenway Park last month, which is available on-demand now.
Just in case that wasn’t enough, the bluegrass superstar himself, Billy Strings, will be joining the party that weekend as well, live-streaming his three nights in Denver at the Ball Arena on September 19-21 and his Los Angeles show at The Orpheum on the 25th. Additionally, Strings’ entire fall tour, complete with his signature Halloween show, will also air live on the platform.
It should go without saying that nugs is nothing short of a must-have if you’re a fan of live music and these artists in particular. And if you’re a diehard fan, you’re just in luck. Throughout September, you can get 50% off your first month, watch the aforementioned livestreams and get access to over 30,000 previously-recorded shows from the likes of Eric Church, Tyler Childers, Billy Strings and more.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like an offer that I wouldn’t miss. You can sign up for 50% off your first month of nugs HERE.
