Welcome first years to Stag Country. While you gear up for the beginning of the best four years of your life, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of responsibilities heading your way. However, I find that the best way to destress and simultaneously hang out with your friends is by going to a concert, whether it be downtown at Fairfield Theatre Company or a train ride away in New York City. This expansive list will showcase some of the best live music heading to the area during the Fall semester and always remember, “never miss a Sunday show.”
