Huge Weekend Of Area Music
Saturday and Sunday Live Music Lineup for Omaha, Lincoln, Council Bluffs and Beyond
It is that time of the year again. One of Omaha’s most popular bands will take the stage for it’s annual show around the Holiday’s. Hear all of your favorites at Reverb Lounge. Blue Moon Ghetto only do one show a year typically and this is it. Fizz will open the show.

Members of the original Broadway cast of Jersey Boys are going to get very retro with some old-time rock & roll Christmas music. If Tommy James says The Midtown Men are “the real deal,” you believe him. They are at the Lied Center tonight.
You won’t be all alone, little fella! You will be with The Omaha Symphony watching the holiday favorite Home Alone with John Williams’ brilliant score performed live-to-picture at The Holland Center by Omaha’s finest musicians.
Look, at this point in the month you are probably tired of Christmas shows, Christmas everything, and you may need at little darkness in your life. This is where Plack Blague, Ex-Lover and His Witness come in. Check out some of our area’s best darkwave at the Bourbon Theater.
It’s Mannheim time! There will be two shows from Nebraska’s biggest musical export on Sunday at 2 PM and 7 PM and then another one at 7:30 PM on Monday. The band seems to be going through a renaissance as I am selling Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums at the store like it’s the early 90s all over again. These shows take place at The Orpheum.
Tons of other local happenings on Saturday include Cable Network, Bad Self Portraits, and Magu at the Waiting Room. A cool show is happening at O’Leavers with a mix of styles from artists such as Lightning Stills, Vempire, and Spurney’s Hawk. Two of our area’s favorite country acts, Sack of Lions and Pony Creek, will be at Maloney’s Live. Juke Butter will get you in the holiday mood with special guest Enjoli at Jewell on Capitol. Zach Miller and Cooper James will bring more local country music to Barnato, and you can get your winter goth on at the Dark Decent Winters Ball at Verdict. Lastly, on Saturday is Facemelters Ball at Shake Down Street. This will feature Faceless, Nathan Paul Trio, Dage Lee, Jared William Gottberg, Head Chance, Spider Cat, New Agency and MVMA.
