Now that the gifts have been unwrapped and the egg nog has been consumed, we find ourselves smack in the middle of the final week of the year. One thing you’ll notice here is that there are no New Year’s Eve shows listed below. That’s because it deserves its own list, and that is coming a bit later in the week.

As 2016 winds down into its final days, I am encouraged by all of the signs of growth our music scene has shown this year.
This weekend marks the beginning of a brand-new monthly original music showcase – and, in this season of giving, it’s all for a good cause.
Summer is unofficially over. The kids are back to school, the days are getting shorter, and our chances to get outside and enjoy music in 2016 are dwindling.
The good news? Indoors or outdoors, there’s plenty going on in and around our region, all year round! For example, behold these…
