Christmas Time is Here Again

Well folks, it's almost here. If you're anything like me, the lead-up to Christmas has been stressful and busy. So why not use your time off (if you have some) to see some live music. The first show I'd suggest is Sounds & Spirits at the Magic Stick. The proceeds benefit C.O.T.S. which helps alleviate homelessness in the Detroit area. Interesting things always happen when you mix holiday music and rock bands, so come out for a fun time!

Mittenfest has always been a source for fun, photos, reunions and exhaustion for me. Now in its fifth year, this event is becoming a go-to for great music from the Ypsi/Ann Arbor scene and beyond. The four-day extravaganza of music, booze and friends benefits 826 Michigan which supports students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and helps teachers inspire their students to write.

So, will I see you at either of these shows?
