This winter was not only great for holiday fun and new beginnings, but also a time to head into the city for some great concerts.

Here are a few of the many concerts coming here to the Chicagoland area:
Lana Del Rey and Jhene Aiko
The “Lust for Life” artist is following the former B2K star in a show that is sure to Del Rey’s unique style. The entrancing music Del Rey provides would seem to mesh well with the modern R&B sound of Aiko. Both artists will perform at the United Center on January 11.
