We’re in the thick of the holidays, and despite the dark shadow cast by COVID-19, it’s a sure bet that most of you reading this are eager to gift loved ones (and/or maybe yourself) with something special. 

The pandemic has induced a lot of people in the local music industry to get creative. And one of the strange but wonderful upsides to that has been the cottage industries many of them have created beyond the making, promotion, and staging of music. 

From handmade food to woodwork to beauty care products and beyond, local music business professionals are offering a cornucopia of distinctive, often handmade wares just in time for the season. Below, please find a list of those handcrafted goods, and how to purchase them. It’s a great way to shop local, shop independent, and support the local music industry. Happy Holidays, and get to finding those special somethings for those special someones, already.
