There’s no such thing as a lazy Sunday in Lawrence. We’ve seen more afternoon shows popping up, and the community is taking notice. Kaw Valley Public House’s Sunday Irish Jams are picking up speed every week, even in the deadest time of year (January).

Of course, the Replay is continuing to hold their Sunday matinees at 6:00 p.m. But previously, this was primarily dedicated to the warmer months and came to a halt in the winter. The Sunday matinee is generally an avenue for bluegrass and folk, but they’ve been known to sneak in indie rock, dream pop, and even a little hip-hop from time-to-time.

We’ve always said there’s no better time to get to know your local music scene than in the slower months, like January and February. If you’re feeling a little funky or down in the mouth, we’d highly suggest warding off the Sunday scaries with one of the many late-afternoon shows popping up in the live music landscape.
