Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The City Pulse 2016 St. Patrick's Day Event Guide is full of festive events for the day. The list includes drink and meal specials from local bars and restaurants and where you can go to check out Lansing's hottest musicians (Irish-themed and otherwise).

Speaking of musicians — today's one of the busiest days of the year for performing artists. City Pulse's Ty Forquer caught up with a few local musicians to talk about the big day.
