These are the end of days … at least of 2014. You still have a little time left to make it a good year. WTIM friends Matt Bailey, Jim Meck (with and without the Guide Dogs), John & Kass Bolles, Miles Til Dawn, Born Cross Eyed, Hex Hollow Rounders, Coahoma Soul, Monkey Bizzness and Go Commando are all on the holiday wish list. So if you’ve been waiting all year to go out and see one of them, this may be your last chance in 2014. If you have been waiting to make New Year’s Eve plans you better hurry too – check out our list of venues welcoming 2015 with live music, but make sure to call ahead for reservations! Some of these places may already be sold out or close to it and we don’t want you to be left out in the cold!
Do you want to see your band or venue listed here at WTIM? Send an email to tdietterick@21st-centurymedia.com with the particulars (at least two weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
