In our humble twin cities filled with young people looking for something to do now that football season is in our past, choices look thin. Fear no longer! In the upcoming start to spring 2016, your weekend plans can include an array of musical entertainment.

1. Eli Young Band

January 20th at Hurricane Harry's

The well-established country group, Eli Young Band has made several stops in our town and this one definitely won't disappoint as a way to kick off the semester. It's on a Wednesday night, but what is syllabus week for anyway?

2. The Honeydewdrops

January 23rd at the Grand Stafford

This band is a duo made up of Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish. This indie folk group just released their album Tangled Country in 2015. Delightful sounds of the mandolin and banjo fill each track.

3. Beautiful Eulogy

Even if rap music is not your cup of tea, this ensemble from Portland, Oregon is for you. The show will certainly be one of the most artistically thoughtful performances this year with creative use of instruments and thought-provoking lyrics.

4. Green River Ordinance

January 27th at Hurricane Harry's

With most of its Spotify listeners coming from nearby Houston, Texas, this is sure to be a great show. Their clearly pop/rock sound and high energy makes for great time every time GRO performs! Not one to miss.

5. Gungor

January 30th at Common Grounds in Waco, TX.

If you are willing to make the drive, Gungor puts on an fantastic show with high energy, a light show, and that intriguing "cool factor." Common Grounds is a venue worth traveling for itself, with its outdoor stage and excellently brewed specialty coffees.
