Winter Break! Some of us are off this week or taking time off with kids. Here are some ideas to get out of the house.

Thursday

Quatro CD Release Concert at Maplewood Grand Ballroom. Chuck Schiele’s Quartro plays a special show.

We’re turning this ballroom into our own unique Quatro-space. Doors — 6:30 PM
Showtime — 7 PM Advance Sale Tickets  https://bit.ly/3XN2frM Advance: $10
At the Door: $15 Open to the Public Come early to pick your seats! — We will play the album in its entirety, along with selections from their ever-growing catalog of songs, while bringing you an experience that’s cozy, colorful, and intimate . In our surreal living room, there will be hand-picked tequilas and fine bourbons available for flight and tastings. Each band member has their own signature beverage that the house will be serving. Mr. Frank — the boss of the venue — is an award-winning chef, so the world’s best food will be available. We’ve arranged to have the wait staff come right to your seat to serve you.

Friday

NY treasure LOREN BARRIGAR is back on the 443 stage on February 24. Loren Barrigar started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six, played the Chet Atkins hit “Yackety Axe” in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He went on to study with Jimmy Atkins (Chet’s brother) which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Wow!

Transient Kicks, an original jam band from Syracuse NY, featuring influences from Blues, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Bluegrass, Rock, and Psychedelia will be at Funk ‘n Waffles 8 PM.

Saturday

Root Shock has their first show of the year at Average Joe’s Beernasium. 9 PM.

Soul Risin’ hits Shifty’s stage at 8 PM. Who wants some Soul Risin’ in their earholes? Time to let the 2023 vibe out in public. Come twang and slang your bodies around with us at the hippest slap-the-light-fixtures-around party spot in town.

Sunday 

Chris Cresswell plays McCarthy’s Irish Pub in Cazenovia 5-8 PM.
