You are running out of time to get that last minute Christmas present ( hint hint, nudge nudge) but we’re not here for that. We’re here to tell you what’s going on as we see it. So here we go: Don’t forget Chestnut Grove and The Whiskeyhic­kon Boys jamming at Sellersvil­le ( Yes, we still think this is a BIG deal). Kim & Paul, Big Daddy & The Fender Benders, Monkey Bizzness, Go Commando and Born Cross Eyed round out the WTIM friends rocking this week. That’s not all; again we have a couple special mentions! Donald from Boyertown is at it again over at Divots, this time bringing us Santa’s Lip Sync Battle featuring Music by Soundfacto­r Entertainm­ent, and special guest appearance­s by the Coors Light Girls, Ms. Santa, a JELL-O shot shooting Elf on the Shelf, Jolly Old Saint Nick himself and more. Even Donald isn’t sure who’s going to show up. But it’s going to be a blast.

Last, but surely not least, check out the Holiday Hunger Jam at The Other Farm. This is a benefit for the Boyertown Multi-Service and all the AWESOME programs they provide. These folks are all near and dear to my heart. Please bring on-perishable food items or CASH (5’s, 10’s and 20’s are good too) to help out this organizati­on. The imminent jamnation of Stephen Kurtz, Dan Bower and Mike B will be something we’ll be talking about ‘till next Christmas. Get out and support our local talent and civic organizati­ons!

Do you want to see your band or venue listed here at WTIM? Send an email to tdietteric­k@21stcentur­ymedia.com with the particular­s (at least 2 weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
