I’ve been looking over the event calenders for the month of December for many of the local music venues in town, and all I can say is that I hope we don’t have a bad winter, meaning ”no slick icy roads.” There’s actually too much going on at places like the Southgate House, Northside Tavern, Mad Hatter and Madison Theater, and if it were possible, I’d be out there every night…that is if I had the time and money. But if you love checking out concerts in the Cincy area, you should be all over town this month.
