What? I didn't even know John Tesh was coming to town!

So your favorite artist is coming your way. Great! Only you find out 24 hours too late. Crap! And now you are stuck scrambling to find tickets that are either a) in the nosebleed section, b) jacked up in price, or c) both a and b. If you've never had the displeasure of this experience, you can stop reading right now.

If you have felt this pain, then it's time to take a look at Songkick. By combing through ticket vendors, publications and venues, Songkick is able to track your favorite artists and then immediately let you know when they're scheduled to make an appearance in your neck of the woods. And it's ridiculously easy to let Songkick know who you like. Just use it through iTunes, Spotify or even via Facebook.  It'll simply scan the artists in your library or the ones you've "liked," and then bam, you've got a calendar of concerts near you.

Pretty handy little application. And a sure-fire way to guarantee that the next time John Tesh goes on tour you will not miss out on his magical live rendition of "Like a virgin."
