Wednesday!
A very Happy and Merry Christmas and/or whatever you may or may not celebrate! Christmas Day means not so many great mid-week music event options available as usual in and around town, and there are still some places open to gather and get away if that’s what you’re seeking…
like yesteday, many of the events listed are ones that repeat week to week, so if you see question marks, it means that it’s not completely clear whether the event is happening this week or not, and it’s likely worth checking with a phone call before heading to the venue…
read on for details, and get out to enjoy… welcome to new subscribers, thanks for reading, subscribing to, sponsoring, and especially sharing Jerome’s Event List!
