Trying to impress your date for Valentine’s Day? Want to continue to impress them after February 14th? Forget about the typical wine and dine. Why not impress your date by bringing them to a show?

If your date likes classic rock, Paradise Rock Club will be having a Bruce Springsteen tribute band February 18th. The atmosphere at Paradise is very personal and no matter where you stand you’ll have a great view of the stage. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a fun, rocking evening. Also, the tickets are about $20.00, low enough not to make a dent in your pocket and allowing you to purchase a few drinks at the bar, while singing along to Born In The USA or Dancing In The Dark.

Another opportunity to impress is coming up on February 26th, with Girl Talk at The House of Blues. If you’re looking to spend some cash and really impress your date, Girl Talk is the concert for you. The electric-pop will keep your body moving and your date grinning.

If you’re not trying to get down on the dance floor and you would rather sit down and soak in a show, Blue Man Group is playing at the Charles Playhouse the entire month of February. The talent and the beat of the Blue Man Group is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat. They also have crowd interaction throughout the show; maybe you’ll end up on stage or have toilet paper thrown at you.

There are plenty of venues around Boston that have shows that will help you in your romantic endeavors. Some of the best are The House of Blues, Orpheum Theater, Middle East Rock Club, Paradise Rock Club, Charles Playhouse, Bank of America Pavilion, and of course The TD Banknorth Garden. Happy Valentine’s Day!
