Not concerts, though. 2020 was the year that pretty much completely swallowed touring-level live-music whole.
In Huntsville, this sucked particularly hard. 2020 got off to such a promising start, with the opening of Mars Music Hall. The gleaming new Von Braun Center room filled a gaping hole in the city’s venue mix, 1,500-ish capacity, and brought in an array of solid acts from rock to country to metal to bluegrass. Artists whose tour buses had in years past simply drove past Huntsville, with no place to perform here.
