Art: Feeling like a homebody with all of this snow? Have a few friends over tonight, concoct some cozy beverages, and make some 6x6 inch artworks for Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s annual small artworks fundraiser. Go your own way, or try a group theme. Your 6x6x2013 entries are due Apr 21, but you can submit any time before that. For more information, call 461-2222 or visit rochestercontemporary.org.

Music: This Kentucky four-piece formed in the summer of 2006 and rocked small-bar crowds with songs about its members’ two favorite things: women and booze. This early, schnockered songwriting approach has expanded over the years and the band’s high-energy live shows now incorporate a number of musical roots. Fifth on the Floor produces a clean, cohesive sound that blends aspects of Southern rock, blues, and bluegrass. Fifth on the Floor performs Thursday, January 3, 7:30 p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $5-10. 232-3230, abilenebarandlounge.com.

Comedy: New York-based comedian Bob DiBuono has been called a “master impressionist,” and he’s bringing his act to the Comedy Club (2235 Empire Blvd., Webster) tonight through Saturday. The show goes on at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $9-$12. For more info, call 671-9080 or visit thecomedyclub.us.

Music: Is your life meter feeling a little like Link’s and down a few hearts? Well, coming to us from New Bedford, MA, rockers Half Hearted Hero will be ready to fill you back up tonight at the Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave., bugjar.com, 8:30 p.m., $6-$8). Broken Field Runner (From Albany), and locals Gunnar Stahl and Jenna Giuliani open up.

Recreation: Grab some pals and go skiing or snowboarding today at Bristol Mountain Resort (5662 New York 64, Canandaigua). The facility is open 9 a.m.-10 p.m. today, and lift tickets begin at $56 for adults. For more information, call 374-6000, email [email protected], or visit bristolmountain.com.

Music: Looking for someplace to practice those jazz hands tonight? (OK, and maybe listen to some as well?). Why not stop on down to Tala Vera (155 State St., tala-vera.com) and check out The Student Union? Music starts at 8 p.m., tickets run a low $5.
