Last week, music was my drug and I may have used it to excess. A few too many super late nights left me in a much desired sleep-deprived daze.

This calendar comes to you from Crystal City, Missouri. Saturday, my extended family celebrated Christmas. There were quite a few people buzzing about my grandparents’ house, most of whom I hadn’t seen in five years.  It was nice to catch up with everyone and meet all the new additions. Live music withdrawal hasn’t set in yet, but I imagine by the end of my trip I will be suffering. Not that being in LA this week would be terribly helpful as due to the holiday, my show calendar is on empty side. Don’t miss all the shows on Monday. If I were in town, I’d be at Bardot seeing Jared & The Mill and Tall Tales and The Silver Lining.

Here’s what else I was able to come up with:

 

Monday: It’s A School Night at Bardot f. Jared & The Mill, Tall Tales and The Silver Lining (8:30)

Saturday, after a full day of learning at The YouBloom LA Conference (bookmark this event for next year!), I drove down to San Diego to see Dear Boy’s debut at The Casbah and am now about to head to The Forum for night 2 of KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas. To say it’s been a full and exciting weekend would be an understatement.
