MONDAY, JAN. 24, 2011 >>>

1. Blues Night at the Swiss is back! Join Maia Santell and House Blend tonight from 8 - 10:30 p.m. There will be room to get your groove on, good drinks, and no cover at all.

2. Drop in on Freeset Fest today at the University of Puget Sound's Wheelock Student Center Murray Boardroom. Freeset Fest is a day long festival "with all proceeds being donated to Freeset, an organic fair trade business which uses business to free women trapped in Calcutta's infamous sex trade," according to the U.P.S. website. Expect lots of music, and lots of art. You can learn more about Freeset here.

3. Leanne Trevalyan & Barbara Blue play the Harmon Brewery tonight. Trevalyan, of course, is part of the Junkyard Jane punch. She's also featured in the Bar-Bar-Barbizon glamour shot on today's full music calendar. Trust us, she's awesome. There's a reason she's a local favorite.

4. It's Euro Night at Surreal Ultra Lounge in downtown Tacoma. Head on down ... but lose the baggy clothes and baseball hats (club rules).

5. Get your uke on tonight at Yenney Music in Olympia on the Westside. Kate Power and Steve Einhorn lead some all-ages "Uke & Song."
