Erika Van Pelt; featured artist Tues nite KC’s Rib Shack; Manchester, NH. January 31
January represents new beginnings. New Year’s resolutions. New calendars. Writing a new year onto our checks, for anyone who still uses checks. While the cold weather is certainly a hanger on from the previous year, we can all keep warming listening to New England’s live music. Below are some offering if you’d like to move your feet, shake your booty, and or just sit and listen to the way they play their music. Enjoy.
