February Gig Calendar

Be mine … and take me to see Saturday Looks Good To Me!

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it's not short on Michigan concerts. There's plenty to see and hear, with the biggest buzz being on the weekend of the 23rd, a weekend that holds not only the triumphant return of Saturday Looks Good to Me, but also Keewanawesomefest, the greatest indie rock festival in the history of Houghton.
