I've been in such a happy festive mood since well before the election, but as we get closer to Christmas and Hanukkah, it's nice to take a load off and enjoy the friends and music scene and the goodness we experience in this town. Tonight, celebrate with Cathryn Beeks as Listen Local Radio releases a local music calendar with a plethora of SD artists to keep the night festive at Music Box. For another local lineup, catch Brawley's annual Country Christmas at the Belly Up. At the Casbah, Bart Mendoza and his band of merry mods get in the celebratory mood, or head to the Office for a tribute to the band Brand New. Lots of fun to be had tonight as we inch closer and closer to the holiday weekend.
