<p>Music venues in or near Ames…</p>
<p>Maintenance Shop in the MU…attracts bands that college students tend to like, not necessarily big name ones.

<p>Iowa State Center…sometimes hosts popular bands, 2 of my favorites…Fitz and the Tantrums & Capital Cities played there last fall.
<a href=“Stephens Auditorium - Iowa State University”>http://www.center.iastate.edu/about/stephens-auditorium/</a></p>
<p>Ames hosts a pretty large music festival each fall that attracts some national bands…

<p>The bars in Ames that host live music require you to be 21. Des Moines is only 30 minutes away and hosts lots of live music.
