Shows to Make Valentine’s Day a Little More Bearable

Love it or hate it – Valentine’s Day is here. If you’re looking for some tunes to share with your significant other or to help get that gal or guy you are eyeing up in the mood, there is not a shortage of places to go. The Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival will be kicking off this evening at The Fire with “A Night of Duets” by some of your local folk-y/bluesy favorites like Adrien Reju & Chris Kasper, Kristen Sylvester (Spirit and Dust) & Todd Henkin (The Great Unknown), Emily Zeitlyn (The Weeds) & Cowmuddy, Kate Foust & Liz Zook (of Lady), and much, much more. You can swing by Johnny Brenda’s for A Valentine’s Day Lover’s Ball with Franks & Deans where Toy Soldiers’ Ron Gallo and Bill McCloskey will croon their way into your hearts with the tunes of Ol’ Blue Eyes and Dino Martini. Hoots & Hellmouth will be sharing their down home good lovin’ at a sold out Tin Angel. And we do dig the idea of turning The Blockley into a skating rink while King Britt and friends keep you rolling along. So stop hiding in your room, and get out there tonight!
