2019-2020 Nevada County Gold Digital Edition

HOME GROWN SOUNDS
LIVE MUSIC
WHEN IT COMES TO LIVE MUSIC, Nevada
County gets it. You’ll hear it pouring out
of our thriving cultural centers, nightclubs
and world-class outdoor festivals and you’ll
even find it setting the mood in our coziest little
cafes. For those who love great musicianship, the
pleasures of live music can be the soundtrack of
any visit to the region. From the top of the mountain
in Truckee to the serenity of the foothills in
Penn Valley live music venues are in abundance,
especially in the towns of Grass Valley and
Nevada City. The restaurants of our county are
especially in tune with creating a perfect dining
atmosphere by employing the many talented
singers and musicians who live here. So check the
