As we roll out of 2018 and into 2019, the Independent is going out with a bang. With a slate of fabulous shows on the horizon, the reliably rad Divisadero Street venue is a sure bet for a great night out. These are the shows you’ve waited all year for.

Of particular note is the first major blowout of next month: “It’s A Woman’s World” on the 7th, which features a whopping lineup of local women, including Sit Kitty Sit, the Wyatt Act, Swamp Child, and way more raising money for Woman Crush Music. The theme carries over into North Bay soul-rock band Royal Jelly Jive the next night, and recent South By schedule addition Rose Droll with Pllush, Soar, and Pardoner on the 13th. There’s also Norwegian singing sensation Bernhoft smack in the middle of the month on the 15th.

That doesn’t even count JMSN, Peter Bjorn and John, Preoccupations, Parliament Funkadelic, and many, many more. Stay warm this winter with the Independent’s schedule of hot, hot shows. Pick up your tickets here.
