Waiting on the Winter

Hey Salem, how was your Holiday week? Mine? Oh, it was pretty fantastic! Spent Christmas with both sides of the family, and New Years at the Radio Room in North Portland playing the final essential fundraiser for KZME Radio ("Final" because we met and broke the required amount that night!), which was a great event to be a part of.

I come back from this holiday break with little to say about Salem's music scene, except that it feels like the music has gone into a unique sort of hibernation. But considering the fact that snow has yet to really hit this small town, I cant really grasp why!? Although I did a little browsing and found a few events around town to consider.
