vitalsineThe wine room at Tosca is a perfect place to enjoy wine and music live in Hingham, Massachusetts. There are only 14 tables inside this intimate setting, but the room can accommodate up to 100 guests. The spot has been showcasing live entertainment in the wine room for the past 15 years on weekends.
They feature a variety of music types, from classic jazz duos and trios to full blues bands. Another nice thing about this spot is that there is never a cover charge for admission. The wine room is an extension of Tosca's dining room, so they offer the full menu inside the wine room as well. They don't take reservations for the wine room, though, so it is always first come first served. There is more of a dining room feel early in the evening, but it turns into a cocktail lounge by the end of the night with a real upbeat tempo.

sergione infusoFor newbies, the SXSW music festival can be daunting. There are about 2,000 bands playing music live at dozens of venues in downtown Austin over the course of five days and nights. There are also over 10,000 people in attendance for the festivities. Good planning will ensure that you get a handle on the chaos. If you decide to just wing it and go with the flow, you'll probably miss out on a lot of worthwhile music. Some tips can help you get the most out of SXSW.
The first thing you should do is to pack for summer, because Austin temperatures average in the 70s at this time of year. You should also keep in mind that you have to register at the convention center. If possible, avoid registration during the mid to late afternoon to bypass the really huge lines. Also, you should know the difference between badges and wristbands.
