As we roll through the holiday season, there’s certainly no shortage of seasonally-themed live music online to help you get in the mood. Just this week, you can choose from holiday shows from Richard Thompson, Shawn Colvin, Lucinda Williams, We Banjo 3, and Cherish the Ladies. Plus (locally) we have The Wheel doing an online Hope for the Holidays show, and A Joyful Noise! Gospel lunch wrapping the week up at Caffe Lena. It sure beats “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”.
Best bet: Chris Carey and Tim Wechgelaer put on a “Most Wonderful Christmas Spectacular” up at the Cock ‘n Bull this Thursday. This is a private dinner-and-a-show event, so get your tickets early if interested.
