Live from Gwinnett Where to catch music icons of today and tomorrow BY KELUNDRA SMITH

That legacy extends to Gwinnett County, which a variety of artists have called home, including singer Diana DeGarmo and the rap super-group Migos. Every headliner has to start somewhere, and Gwinnett has a number of small venues— along with a state-of-the-art arena—where fans can catch the next big thing. Here are some of the county’s coolest places to hear live music.

37 Main Historic downtown Buford has no shortage of charm, and 37 Main is the extra spice in the sauce. This “rock cafe” features live music seven days a week so visitors can groove to the beat while they eat. Expect cover bands playing tributes to legends like Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, and Tom Petty. The menu features a mix of burgers, tacos, and fried apps, with names honoring famous musicians (try the Prince’s Pretzel or Cobain’s Chicken).
