Timbre Concert App

As a music fan, do you get super frustrated trying to find all the upcoming shows in your city?  Do you look up particular venues, go to their independent websites, and scroll down their event lists?  Are you then forced to compile all of those shows you might want to attend on a massive personalized concert calendar you make for yourself?  Aren't you sick of doing all of that?  Doesn't it seem like such a time consuming process?

If you answered "yes" to at least a few of those questions (like I did), you should think about downloading Timbre to your smartphone.

Timbre is the best application I've found that provides a scrollable list of all upcoming concerts in a particular region.  You can find shows near your current location, or type in any cities of interest.  

Click on an artist, and it will pull up the location of the show, the date, and auto-play a song of theirs (a cool feature which you can turn off if you so choose in the settings menu).  The app even lets you share your concert find on Facebook or Twitter, or email/text the show directly to someone who might want to join you.  There's also a link to SeatGeek, which can help you find tickets.

Timbre provides a great user experience.  It's easy to utilize, aesthetically pleasing, and groups all shows in a particular region onto one application for you.  It also gets bonus points for not forcing me to link to my Facebook account.  I really, really hate that.

Downsides (at least for me using it on my Android device):  

• It doesn't allow me to send concerts I find directly to my Google calendar.  That's a big bummer.  
• Also, it doesn't filter any artists/genres out.  I'm really not interested in going to see Aaron Carter sing "I Want Candy" in Virginia Beach this April 23rd, but Timbre doesn't care.  It won't let me delete him from the list.

Still, though... Timbre is worth checking out if you're a music fan.  The app is available for Android and iPhone.
