New year, same me — still chasing live music like it’s going out of style.
Lucky for us, Columbus is kicking off January with a concert lineup so good it might just distract you from the fact that it’s freezing outside. From epic headliners to up-and-coming chart toppers, here are the shows worth braving the cold for this month.
