Let's face it, January can be a pretty depressing month. Sometimes, that feeling even carries over to February and then it becomes the full on winter blues.
Some lucky folks plan their escape with vacations to warm places. Others are too broke from the holidays, so they're stuck with the staycations. I've seen all sorts of remedies described online to beat this season of BLAH including:
1. Eat more greens
2. Go tanning
3. Read a good book
4. Lower your expectations
In my opinion, music can be the cure for what ails you. Just getting out of the house and going to see some live shows can make all the difference. And though summer is often thought of as the "festival season", I've been discovering that there are quite a few "winter festivals" going on as well. So, on today's show, I'll tell you about what I've discovered is going on across this fair nation of ours.
And, it would be great to get a discussion going right here on the blog if you're willing to let us know:
WHAT TIPS DO YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE WINTER BLUES? Diet? Favorite winter sport? Winter Romance? What's happening musically in your town/city in the next few months - let everyone know!
Post your comments on the blog, and together we'll shine a happy light into the heart of this grey season.
