December, warming the holidays with hot New England live music

Gay Perkoski; singer-songwriter from Central Massachusetts to Cape Cod

December’s cold holiday season always goes better with hot New England live music. Christmas, Hanukkah, end of semesters, skiing can all be enjoyed more if one is also going to check out some of the best live music in the country. New England has the best schools, the best medical centers, the best craft beer, the best sports teams, and the most inspiring tourist attractions. Amid such creative genius, adventurous spirits, and awe-inspiring beauty, it only stands to reason that our homegrown music is also the best. Let’s meet up with family and friends this festive season at live music venues and let the music and the spirits flow.
