The Overture

A frenzy of activity on the DIY circuit highlights this packed week of shows, and it's almost as if all the musicians came out to enjoy the unseasonable weather. Here's where to take in the sun and the tunes.

This week of shows in C-U is highlighted by Julien Baker, and also includes some unique takes on Valentine's Day.

STRFKR and Shooter Jennings play this week, and we've also got lots of folk music and some echoes of The Great Cover Up set to entertain you for this week in shows.

January is going strong with this week that features Andrew Bird, Joyce Manor, some excellent benefit shows and so much more. 

This full week of shows in C-U includes The Great Cover Up's second round, as well as Ricky Skaggs, Quiet Riot, and more.

The Great Cover Up returns with its first leg this weekend, and that's only one of the ways that live music can prepare you for the semester this week.

C-U is waking up a bit this week with this varied group of shows, which includes electronica, psychedelia, hip-hop and more.

C-U hasn't yet fully emerged from the holiday fog, but there are still a few shows worth checking out this week.

Things in C-U are winding down for the holidays, but there is still a lot going on. This is our last Overture of 2016, and within it you'll find all the best local music that the rest of this year has to offer.
