When the weather cools down and outdoor music becomes pretty much impossible, it seems that most music series go with it. Luckily, this year Volume One is hosting a weekly local music series in the Volume One Gallery at The Local Store (205 N. Dewey St.). The series – which runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas – will offer shows on every Friday and Saturday. The lineup for the inaugral year of the series is diverse, including indie rockers The Heart Pills and Adelyn Rose, singer-songwriters Brian Bethke and Sarah Krueger and folksters like Phil Cook (of Megafaun fame) among others. Though most shows won’t have a necessarily holiday theme, one stands as the exception. After years of organizing a local holiday playlist, the Eau Claire Christmas Mixtape organized by Andy Plank will be presented live, with each musician performing their song for the project. The series kicks off with The Heart Pills on Friday, Nov. 23 at 7pm and Billy Krause on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 7pm. You can find the full schedule in the calendar at the back of this Holiday Handbook and online at VolumeOne.org/holiday.
