Dear Biss Listers, As this lovely month of hearts, love and lust comes to an end, we look back BISSfully at the awesome music we have witnessed and look forward to springing into the BISStastic splendor that March promises to bring with the likes of Umphrey's with Honeydrops, Dumstaphunk, Railroad Earth with Dead Winter, Galactic, Karl Denson, Mike Gordon, Rebirth, Jackie Greenn, The Wailers, Widespread Panic, & Sharon Jones just to name a few! This Thursday, a small group of us are making a different type of musical trip to the East Bay to see Guys & Dolls. (Thanks Sharon!) When we get back into the city, it should be perfect timing for AFROLICIOUS to be poppin at the Elbo Room (*WIN).  We will still even have time to hit the Boom Boom Room and catch some HIBBITY DIBBITY (*WIN).  They packed the house the last time and we are looking forward to round two!!
