The live music on the island of Tenerife offers to music lovers and performers a scene that is distinct and found no where else throughout Europe.  Many of the bars and the luxury hotels Tenerife visitors spend their nights in will have live music scheduled every day of the week.  Many of the live performers of the cabaret shows are extremely talented and are becoming more popular shows for the locals, as well as those traveling.  Many well known artists perform on the island such as HollieBourne , Eddie Hastings and Charlie Hodge.  Many local performers make a living singing the covers of these artists, with Neil Diamond a favorite of many musicians on the island.

Many of the bars on the south side of the island, present performers who sing along to pre-recorded tracks, and although they have quite a following many musicians and those who love and appreciated live singers accompanied by live musicians the northern side of the island offers much more.  A few full rock bands though, have been playing out in the south recently, such as Soundchaser.  Few of the band perform their own tunes though, most are cover bands playing the popular hits of rockers such as Dire Straits, AC/DC and Santana.  A wider variety of clubs have been opening recently that offer everything from reggae music to funk and jazz.  One of the better clubs in the southern part of the island is Las Galletas, which does hire only live bands and is a great place to have some food, watch the sunset and listen to the music.  Another popular spot isVai Moana , which not only has a stage, but houses a variety of artworks, murals on the walls and a large aquarium.  This is such a great venue that many of the northern bands will travel south in order to perform here.

As stated, the northern side of the island is the best place to be for jam sessions and live shows.  Many festivals happen in this area as well, such as the Tenerife Wind Festival.  In its 7th year, this festival occurs every July and has a line-up that includes more than fifty bands and artists.  Along with the performances, there are many classes and seminars offered, as well as the promotion of the protection of theenvironment and ecological issues.  One of the larger venues that schedules the more famous international acts is the Tenerife Auditorium.  Past shows include Van Morrison, Jethro Tull and Chick Corea.  In all, Tenerife offers a diverse selection of styles and shows and is a wonderful vacation spot for music lovers throughout the world.
