Bored? Check Out These January Concerts and Events in Billings

Well, we made it past the holidays. Yay. Now, for many of us, the winter doldrums seem to be settling into Montana. Unless you love outdoor winter activities, there are certainly a lot fewer events in Billings now, compared to our crazy-busy summer months

All is not lost, however.

I spent some time today poking around various venue event calendars and compiled a roundup of some of the bigger concerts, tradeshows, and events happing in Billings this January. Listed by venue, here's my hand-curated summary.
