Advance Planning: February 2014 Music Calendar

February starts this coming Saturday, so for all you advance planners out there, here is the Now I’ve Heard Everything Music Calendar for February, 2104. Listings on the calendar are for venues in New York City and for bands that I can personally recommend or which I have reason to believe are worthwhile. All shows listed here are free or have tickets which cost $40 or less. I’ve tried to list the set time for each band. If all I have is a time when the show starts, I’ll list that and so note it. And as always, this calendar is a work in progress and will be updated from time to time during the month.
