Pioneer Place on Fifth has a full lineup of in-person live music through mid-June.
The venue, which was closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, reopened in April and has been treating audiences to live music every weekend.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to provide a space where the musicians and audiences can meet and really enjoy themselves,” said Ray Herrington, owner of Pioneer Place.

“You’re really interacting with the audience because you’re so close,” Herrington said. “The musicians appreciate it and take advantage of it and create some wonderfully intimate performances.”
