Unhappy Holidays is back in 2022! We are looking forward to resuming this annual tradition for Dissonance where we ask: What if the holidays aren't actually all that cheery? What do you do when the celebrations feel lackluster or painful? What if you're just trying to make ends meet at the close of the year? Unhappy Holidays brings us together for real talk about a time of year that can be harder than expected.

Join us as we talk with three powerhouse women in the Minnesota music scene. Joyann Parker, Mae Simpson, and Diane will join Dissonance for a panel discussion about their own experiences with pressures and expectations. You'll hear conversation about mental health and their thoughts on the season with personal songs to go right along with it.

Although we are talking about the hard stuff, we promise you'll leave Unhappy Holidays feeling refreshed and uplifted. Join us!
