Live Music in Madison, CT

Madison keeps live music going most nights of the week across four venues: Madison Prime Steakhouse, which books acts Thursday through Saturday with dinner; the Madison Beach Hotel, with Friday night sets overlooking Long Island Sound; Donahue's Madison Beach Grille, the casual spot on the Post Road; and the Madison Town Green, home to the town's free Sunday evening concerts in summer. It is a dinner-and-a-show kind of town, with the water never far away.
