Being an avid music fan, I've been to many venues in the Phoenix area over the years. Once hailed as the Red River Opry - a venue that provided Branson like country music fair - it exchanged ownership and brought in a plethora of national and local music acts.
A patron for some years, I've seen several concerts at this venue, and aside from the occasional out of hand drunk or the one off fights that break out, I thoroughly enjoy myself every time I walk through their doors.
Up close and personal doesn't begin to describe the vibe of The Marquee Theater. There is a never a bad place to watch the show, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you may encounter one of your favorite musicians milling about watching the other acts or at the merchandise booth signing autographs and taking pictures.
