Who says January is a dreary time of year? Certainly not I!

The average high temperature in Rochester, Minnesota in January is 22 degrees. Yep, it’s cold. However, cold doesn’t mean boring – or that you have to be a shut in.

I’m here to say January in Rochester is fun.

Don’t believe me? Let’s look at five cool (literally and figuratively!) shows happening locally this month.

1. Greentop with Author, Local Sports, and Loud Mouth Brass: It’s happening Saturday at the brand new Castle Community. You’re going to want to be there to hear amazing music!
2. Yam Haus and Twin Lakes with Breakthrough & Under the Pavilion: Another night of fantastic music. You’ll hear a variety of new music here.
3. Nite Shift at the North Star (Kasey & Eric’s Rockin’ B-day Bash!): Kasey is one of the best vocalists in Rochester. You don’t want to miss this!
4. VILD, Con Davison + Amanda Wirig Art: Get prepared for another angelic voice!
5. Nikola Hamilton + Sterling and the Silver Lining: Only at the lovely Canvas & Chardonnay.
