The week leading into Christmas is a good one for local music. Jesse Plessis and Bente Hansen will be playing a variety of classical pieces at the Lethbridge Public Library, Dec. 21

If you want to dance your way into the Christmas season, Hippodrome is just the ticket, Dec. 23 at the Slice. Admission is $10 for that show as well.
If you are a Seinfeld fan, then Jesse and the Dandelions will help you ring in Festivus, Dec. 23 at the Owl Acoustic Lounge. I don’t think there will be any feats of strength involved, but there may be a festivus pole and possibly airing of grievances. There is no cover for the show which also includes Joel Bryant and Pete Watson.
If you want to rock and roll, Who’s Yer Daddy at at Casino Lethbridge on the weekend.
For a little classical music, Dale Ketcheson performs at the Mocha Cabana, Dec. 23.
