If you're like me, your calendar has been jam-packed with festive holiday parties and gatherings. While always fun, things can get a little hectic, and you might need to unwind a little after the parties end. There are great ways to do that tonight, with Jesse LaMonaca playing his warm tunes at West Coast Tavern, the super tall White Buffalo over at the Casbah, or Tex-Mex rockers Los Lobos at the Belly Up. You can also catch Leon Russell at 4th & B or for those of you with your "medical" cards, or check out the Kottonmouth Kings down at the House of Blues.
