Even in a milder-than-usual Central Oregon winter, nothing warms the bones like a nice, hot bowl of soup. Lucky for you, one of the guys who works on the press here at The Bulletin makes a mean clam chowder. Unlucky for you, we don't have the necessary permits to open a soup shop.

So here's the next-best thing: live music. This week, when you feel tempted to stay in on a chilly evening, consider shunning your sweatpants and taking in a show. Over the next seven days, the local music scene offers an array of flavors, including piquant pop, hearty hip-hop, spicy ska, fragrant folk, genial jazz, mouthwatering metal, and much more. So check out the menu and ready your spoon. How you fit it into your ears is up to you.
