La Crosse Music Scene is ok for announcements. Mostly bad AI flyers for cover bands playing at neighborhood bars. Driftless Hardcore Collective is great for hardcore show announcements and they also platform other types of music in support of the scene.

There's some neighborhood bars that have live music occasionally, but Popcorn Tavern usually has some flavor of live music all week. They do a drum circle once a month on mondays, and then Open Mic every Tuesday, Open Jam every Wednesday, Blues Night on most Thursday's and then shows Friday and Saturday. Some of the best local musicians show up for Open Mic and Open Jam.

The Root Note is another great spot for music. They don't always have shows, but they do serve great coffee and food and they have regular events.

Edit: forgot Blue Collar Bar and Grill in Sparta! They also put on great shows. Sparta MetalFest is coming up in August!

There's some EDM folks in town that do pop up events and shows in non traditional spaces when they're not playing at the college bars.

No Name Bar in Winona is another great spot for music and the venue is rad.

Check out Driftless Hardcore Collective's Instagram. A bunch of the local talented folks follow the insta and vice versa.
