Tonight In Rock: Jackson Brown, Buddy Guy, N.A.S.A., Roadside Graves
Tonight Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jackson Brown will be headlining the Greek Theatre. Five-time Grammy Award-winning blues and rock guitarist Buddy Guy will be taking on the Hollywood Bowl. And, lastly, LA-based DJ collective N.A.S.A. are poised to grace the El Rey Theatre. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Knitting Factory to catch New Jersey's own country-infused folk act Roadside Graves. LAist favorites Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview, Review) and the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be performing as well.
Instant Review: Saturday's Long Beach Blues Festival
Saturday I decided to go for the $130. "Premier Pass" at the Long Beach Blues Festival. It was money well-spent. Not only did it get me into the same area as the $1500 pass package, but I was able to get right up in front of the stage.
