We are always on the search for sites offering free, legal Mp3s to expand our musical knowledge-base. A frequently overlooked source for free cutting edge songs is the venues that host concerts.
Many theaters are able to host songs from bands as promos for upcoming shows.
A great theater we love (where TRMom and TRDad saw the ubercute Martha Wainwright, among others) is the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee.
A quick view of the Pabst website shows the “Free Mp3” tab on the right-hand side. A few seconds later you’ve got eight or ten new songs to enjoy.
You don’t need to attend the concerts, or join the theater’s website. You don’t need to live in Wisconsin, or anywhere near the Pabst. Just download and enjoy!
Is there a theater near you offering free music to entice ticket sales? If so, let us know!
