Heading to Anaheim California for the NAMM show next month? Want to check out some of the great gigs happening around town, but you're not sure who's playing where? Well look no further! The following is a list of gigs taking place during NAMM week that Guitar Channel readers may be interested in. These venues are all fairly close to the Anaheim California area, but some will require a bit of a drive. Check back often as I will continue to update this list as more shows are announced. Please visit the venue websites for exact time, ticketing and location info. NAMM runs from January 14th through January 17th - I'm starting the gig list from the 11th for folks who are flying in early. To my knowledge, every show in this list is open to the public, unless otherwise specified (ie. SABIAN Live).
