    You can get a feed of upcoming cincinatti (or nashville, or wherever) concerts that will always be ‘fresh’ , just go here http://gruvr.com/feed/?geo=cincinatti-oh

    Gigs are ranked adaptively by search popularity, so the most-sought-after shows ‘bubble up’ and get listed. Lots of ways to customize, if you want, too.

    Each event lets readers set an email reminder. Let me know if you want help, it would be great to see a a good listings page on YANP..
