Concert Listings Roundup #332

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gigs of the week:

No Octopus Dancing Holiday Bash (feat. Allison Cameron/Germaine Liu/Mark Zurawinski/Kurt Newman/Mike Smith/D. Alex Meeks/Daniel Pencer and more!) / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2019-12-18 (Wednesday – early!) [FB event]

Josh Cole presents (feat. Lina Allemano/Rob Clutton/Blake Howard/Brodie West) / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2019-12-18 (Wednesday) [FB event]

Once more it's a phenomenal double-header at The Tranzac on Wednesday, with great shows in both early and late slots mixing familiar collaborators into seasonally-new reconfigurations.
