January’s live New England music offerings

After a couple of terrible years, this new year will hopefully see more of a light at the end of the Covid-19, inflation, supply shortages tunnel. If you’re anything like me, and I know most of you are, listening to music always makes you feel better. Going out to hear live music is even better still. Below are some live music offerings throughout New England. Hopefully, none of them will be canceled due to Omicron shutdowns.
