If you’re one of the cool people heading home, back to New Jersey like me, you’ll be pleased to see that there is a lot more to look forward to than just a turkey diner (even though that sounds amazing enough). There is actually a fair amount of quality shows playing around NJ that should really mash your potatoes and cram your cranberries. KC and The Sunshine Band, Aerosmith, and Ray Lamontagne, are only three of the mouth watering, gravy train artists playing around the state during this festive time. Take advantage of these concerts and be thankful you had SITR to state the real once again.
