December Shows We Recommend in Chicago

My bad for forgetting to post “November Shows We Recommend”, but November was a pretty slow month as it were. And December is shaping up to be somewhat low-key with the exception of New Year’s Eve. Nevertheless, here are some good shows in the Windy City for December. As always, hope to see you braving the elements at the rock show. If not, look for me wearing the above ‘muffs with confidence on the streets of Chicago.
