BISS List 11.30.22: Holiday Highlights + Nat Keefe Carnival + Best of BISS this Week
Happy Holidaze BISS Listers!
Well now that we have made it through Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday, we can officially call this the holiday season!
In last week’s BISS, I mentioned all kinds of good stuff on this weekend’s musical calendar as the kick off to the season. Every one of those is listed in the Best of BISS This Week section.
One show of note for our long time friends and family, was just added. Our boy Daniel Cohen’s band, DangerAte (feat: Daniel “The D3” Cohen), is debuting for the first time at the Boom Boom Room on Saturday night as the opening band for Space Goat (*WIN*).
The question that seems to be on everyone’s minds and on every group text thread this week is, “What shows are we doing for the holidays?”. I even posted that question myself and the responses are STILL coming in! I decided to answer this question with a special spotlight this week on the Best Holiday Season shows.
In the spirit of giving for the holidays, we also spotlighted the 17th Annual Nat Keefe Carnival which is coming up this Sunday at The Independent (*WIN*).
Read on!
