It's the holidays, so celebrate with friends and family by going out on the town. Live music is filling up restaurants and bars throughout the Wood River Valley with everything from blues to house DJ music.

At the Silver Dollar in Bellevue, DJ Marlene will spin tunes beginning at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 23.
