Here is a listing of area live music and online music happenings for the weekend and week of Friday, January 12 through Thursday, January 18.
Winter season has brought its weather fury to the area in recent days, and wintry precipitation and colder temperatures are forecast to arrive this weekend. But live music continues to happen on area stages – escape your cabin fever and take in a show or two this weekend, weather permitting. (And this time of year, check ahead to be sure scheduled shows are still happening, especially if wintry precipitation is falling.)
SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!
