As the state capital of Mississippi and the state's largest city, it's unsurprising that Jackson should serve as such a hub of culture and entertainment in the South. With a burgeoning live music scene, Jackson is sure to meet the discerning expectations of any concert aficionado who happens to pass through.

Jackson is home to a veritable plethora of live music venues; the options are endless. Enjoy dinner and drinks with a side of live music at Martin's Lounge, soak up the delightfully retro vibe while chowing down on excellent Southern fare at Hal & Mal's or enjoy the historic atmosphere of Duling Hall.

One of Jackson's most exciting annual events is the Jackson Rhythm and Blues Festival, hosted at the Jackson Convention Complex each summer. Experience the rich musical heritage of Mississippi's capital with performances by some of the biggest names in rhythm and blues.

Is music not really your thing? Sports fans may be interested in seeing the Jackson Bandits of the EHCL take the ice at the Mississippi Coliseum, which also occasionally hosts concerts and other shows of interest to the public.
