🍾Happy New Year! 🎆🌈
Yes, this is a day early. I wanted to give you the heads up with so many events tomorrow night, including a few events in Fallbrook. The various gigs for NYE I had were left in and more have been added. Please check the venue for any changes/updates to events. The Escondido Art Center changed their NYE event. Lifetime Rocker’s induction into the CA Music Hall of Fame was moved to February.
Here is a sampling of New Year’s Eve events in the area:
