Because Raptor-mania, many rooms have cancelled their regular live music shows scheduled for tonight.  For example:  the Monday night open mic normally scheduled at Black Swan with Sebastian Agnello is cancelled. .  So rather than present a potentially inaccurate listing I’ve opted only to mention a few that I know are happening.
