Halestorm/In This Moment/
Eve To Adam
7 p.m.
Club Fever
222 S. Michigan St., South Bend
(574) 234-5200
Lzzy Hale is a phenomenal rock singer. You should see her live, end of story. She also digs one of my artists and gave us a quote on my song “Black Ninja.” Talented and totally cool, she deserves your $$$ and time — look hard for tickets, you won’t regret it.

Silver Creek Event Center
Four Winds Casino
11111 Wilson Rd., New Buffalo
With a career launched by song placements in the ’90s smash indie film “Swingers,” Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has been keeping swing the in thing for nearly 20 years. Check out the boys and have a few throws of the dice before or after to make it feel legit.

Southold Dance Theater Presents: The
Nutcracker
2 p.m.
Morris Performing Arts Center
211N. Michigan St.
South Bend
(574) 235-9190
It’s an afternoon of Tchaikovsky and great set design. Nutcrackers come to life, trees grow — think of it as “Alice in Wonderland” at Christmas. The dancing and choreography will impress in the only full, unabridged nutcracker in the region.

Merry Mondays — Holiday Cocktail Class
6 p.m.
Food Dance
401 E. Michigan Ave., Kalamazoo
(269) 382-1888
If I’ve learned one thing about Michiana since I came back here — classy peeps like to get hammered on classy drinks. Food Dance will teach you how to make and let you drink some of their signature cocktails and martinis, and take recipes home. Get a DD and tip a few on a Monday.

Notre Dame Glee Club Christmas Concert
2:30 p.m., 6 p.m.
DeBartolo Performing Arts Center 8 p.m.
100 Performing Arts Center
Notre Dame
(574) 631-2800
Notre Dame’s world-renowned all-male Glee Club will be taking the stage three times in one day for its annual Christmas concerts. My attorney loves these guys, but don’t call him to ask, he’s prone to charge for his advice. You can still get mine for free, thanks to OTW.
