Well, I had to take a little extra time this week to do some updating to the live music list as a whole, but I also dug up as much info as I possibly could for this coming Monday's local New Year's Eve parties!
Please note that some of these parties may be ticketed events or charge a cover, so be sure to call or e-mail your favorite venue to see what they're doing. Info may also be provided in the links I give to each bar or band. Venues that I know for sure won't be charging a cover are the Seaside Inn, the Sand Bar, and S & J's Pub.
Also note that if your favorite venue doesn't have a New Year's Eve party listing here, that doesn't necessarily mean they're not having a party. It just means there won't be live music at the party. So no matter what, I strongly recommend you call or e-mail your favorite place and get the full lowdown on their New Year's Eve plans if you can't find enough info in the links provided below.
So, without any more delays, here's your live music list for the week of December 28th-January 3rd. If you have any additions or corrections that should be made, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at tcronin82@gmail.com. The help is always appreciated.
Have a great holiday weekend, and stay safe out there!
