I’m sure you’ve all heard that laughter is the best medicine.

That is incorrect.

~Music is~

Since spring semester is officially back in full swing, everyone is super busy and way stressed out. Even if you’re not a student, it’s post-Christmas and tax season, which is arguably the most depressing time of the year.

With all of your day-to-day hardships, plus those surprises that always seem to come at the worst time, what you need to do is go see some live music.

We are blessed here in Columbia, MO to have some amazing music venues that are so ready to fill our melodic needs and for a decent price, I might add.

So without further adieu, here is the music that you must see this week:

MONDAY 1/26

• Tom Andes blesses Murry’s with his piano talents, 7-10pm.
• LogJam Blues Monday with Johnny D and Friends @ The Bridge, 8pm.

TUESDAY 1/27
