Needing to break the chains of Winter? Yes, maybe this week will be better. Last week’s snow typhoon has surely pushed us all to the outer limits of patience and understanding just waiting to slap the next weather person that calls for the fluffy white stuff… WTIM friends Monkey Bizzness, Jim Meck, Stephanie Grace, Holy Smoke, Go Commando, Steve Walker (doing an unprecedented 3 shows in one day), Zach Alex and Chestnut Grove have all agreed to brave the elements to keep us entertained at all costs. If my friends are not your friends then by all means get out to one of the great local venues and make some new friends on your own!
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.
