The week of Thanksgiving can be stressful with family, cooking and cleaning but thankfully we have great shows every other day of the week. Big bonus for you, most of our recommendations are local bands. If you are here year round, or back home for the holiday, grab your crew and hit any venue this week for an amazing show.
