For a critical eye on the music scene, head over to the Music section. There, you will find articles about recent album releases and our music writers’ suggestions for upcoming shows. This is not that. Each month, I reach out to our ever-growing list of music awards alumni and ask them where they will be playing “next month,” then, if all goes well, we publish a listings ad in the last issue of the month. This is that.
