The Donkeys

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 11/28-12/4

Posted on by Amanda

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! Kristen came down to my place and we feasted on way too much food. It was a wonderful dinner and we still have tons of leftovers. On another note, can you believe it’s almost December?! I mean, where did the time go? I realize I say that a lot but it must really get away from me. I swear it was just summer.

Speaking of it being almost December, holiday shows start rolling around and the first one is this week! First we have the KPRI Holiday Soiree on Wednesday. Next is the Holiday Hootenany from 94/9. If neither of those tickle your fancy, we have a great week of shows to get out and see!

Amanda’s SD Show Calendar 9/6-9/11

Posted on by Amanda

My apologies for being late with this. I checked the music last night and since SD is is low key, there was only a show or two to be seen but nothing super noteworthy. I did say on our Twitter account (@_localmusicnat) last night that I had a surprise and I didn’t lie… Our friends over at the Belly Up hooked us up and I happen to have a pair (or two) of tickets to give away for Lucas Nelson and Promise of the Real with The Tilt on Sept. 22nd, as well as Mother Hips with Nikki Bluhm and the Gramblers on the 23rd.

I realize this is coming at you much later than it should be. Although, I suppose I could have just forgotten all together. Point being, I had a very busy weekend and I forgot that I wasn’t going to have time yesterday to put out my calendar like usual. Sunday was my day of rest and it kind of just bit me in the ass.
