Hubby and I were looking for a place to stay after Josh Ritter's show next month, which is about an hour out of town for us, and I stumbled across this website that I thought some folks here might find helpful.

ConcertHotels.com | Hotels near to Concert and Sporting venues

You put in the venue, artist or city and the site will provide you with a list of of nearby hotels. I don't know how accurate the prices quoted are...whether they link into the hotel's reservation site or just quote rack rates. But it's a pretty cool site.
