3 Coolest Indie Music Venues in Omaha

Apr 8, 2019

Live music still draws crowds even in smaller venues. In Omaha, there is a thriving music scene where indie music continues to drive exciting performances. If you are into live music, here are three of the coolest indie music venues in Omaha.

The Waiting Room

The Waiting Room at 6212 Maple Street is one of the leading venues for indie rock bands. It is connected to the music industry through One Percent Productions and has been the jumping-off point for many famous bands. The live music scene continues to grow and there are bands playing most nights.

Slowdown

Slowdown at 729 N. 14th St. is another leading example of an indie rock venue in Omaha. It is partially owned by people working for Saddle Creek Records, so it has a direct line to the music industry. As a result, many new bands with high potential try to start their careers there. You can get a look at many new bands as well as seasoned veterans at Slowdown.

Harney Street Tavern

You can find the Harney Street Tavern at 1215 Harney St. Although it is not as well-known as the Slowdown or The Waiting Room, it offers a nice acoustic venue. It is a better option if you want a quieter, scaled back show to enjoy.

Omaha is revitalizing and drawing in professionals and bands. Check out O’Daniel Honda for a vehicle that can help you get around Omaha.
