Live After Five is a great event that takes place every Spring and Fall. The Downtown Business Association puts on the event to help promote all the great businesses of the downtown area. There is lots to do and the whole community comes together to have a great time for a few hours every Friday at 5:00pm. The event takes place in the beautiful Galvez Plaza with the stage shadowed by our historic old state capitol building.In 2008 Live After Five starts for the Spring on Friday March 28th. I love going watch live music in Baton Rouge and I've got to say they've put together a great season of entertainment for us: After 8 - March 28, 2008Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble - April 4, 2008Richard Revue - April 11, 2008Long Neck Society - April 18, 2008Tabby Thomas & Blues Revue - April 25, 2008Sweet Root - May 2, 2008Ann Savoy & Her Sleepless Knights - May 9, 2008Phat Hat - May 16, 2008The public has really responded to the event and the results have showing in that there will 8 concerts this year once again.
