Durango has the charm of attracting an abundance of small-time live music. Several downtown establishments open their doors to a variety of eclectic performances from bass pounding electronica to the high and lonesome sound of bluegrass. A stroll down Main Avenue on any given weekend will reveal plentiful opportunities to get your groove on.
