Friday, Jan. 11: Feeling moved to make a difference? Help the children of Flint, Michigan, by attending Flint Fest at The Waiting Room Lounge. For a mere $7 ($10 day of show), you’ll get to see Cult Play, J. Crum, On 2 Galaxies, Jocko, and Motel Martyr.

Saturday, Jan. 12: Unfamiliar with Evandale’s music? Get to Forte Music Hall and Bar for the Evandale CD Release Party and find out what all the fuss is about. The members of Evandale haven’t been together long, but they were already nominated for an OEAA this year. Plus, there are so many bands playing this show, it would be crazy to miss it.

Sunday, Jan. 13: Ever found yourself enjoying “The Thistle and Shamrock” on NPR on a Sunday afternoon? Yes? Then you should head to the Irish Music Sessions at Brazen Head Pub (also on Sundays). Occurring every second Sunday of the month (except March), these sessions are hosted by Irish music legend Peter Brennan, though all are welcome to join in. But if you don’t have a musical bone in your body, you can still go listen, grab a drink and some dinner, and enjoy the show. Call ahead, though. These Irish bards can draw a crowd, so be sure to make a reservation. Learn more here.
