Kiss Alike, a Kiss tribute band, recently played at House of Blues. The band will be playing again Dec. 17 at Fitzgerald’s.

December is one of the busiest months of the year. You might not have much free time, but if you’re trying to find something fun to do with the family to get away from the stress of holiday shopping or home decorating or cooking, why not go to a concert? I’ve got your can’t-miss December concerts all right here for you.

Dec. 2: Borgore @ Stereo Live
This popular DJ will be performing in Houston for the first time in a while! Take advantage of this opportunity.

Dec. 5: Dolly Parton @ NRG Arena
Grab your boots and go hear Dolly sing “Jolene” at NRG Arena!

Dec. 7: Weezer @ Revention Music Center
"Island in the Sun" is a classic. Go see Weezer and pray that they’ll play their old stuff instead of their new stuff.

Dec. 8: Los Lonely Boys @ House of Blues
Los Lonely Boys classify their music as “Texican Rock n’ Roll,” and they live up that. They are great live, playing with real instruments instead of just pre-recorded tracks.

Dec. 15: 96.5 Not So Silent Night: Train, Fitz and the Tantrums & The Strumbellas @ Revention Music Center
The local radio station is throwing their annual “Not So Silent Night” party/concert, and it’s sure to be fun as per usual!

Dec. 17: Kiss Alike @ Fitzgerald’s
I’ve seen this band before, and if you like Kiss, they’re great! It’s a Kiss tribute band, and all the members dress very similarly to the original players. They even have the same mannerisms, so you really feel like you’re watching Kiss play, except for much cheaper!

Dec. 18: Turnpike Troubadours @ House of Blues
Described as a “red dirt”/folk band from Oklahoma, the Turnpike Troubadours love Houston and are sure to put on a good live show this December.

Dec. 23: Trans-Siberian Orchestra @ Toyota Center
The perfect before-Christmas concert - beautiful classical music and carols.

Dec. 27: Singer Songwriter Night @ Avant Garden
One of my friends recently went to a poetry reading here and said the atmosphere was wonderful. If you’re feeling the need to express yourself and let out some frustration after the busy holidays, go sing a song or read a poem at Avant Garden!

Dec. 29: Zeds Dead @ Stereo Live
See this DJ/EDM duo right before New Years to kick off a great musical year!
