Our Pick: Syd Straw @ Redwood Bar & Grill
Tonight prolific Nebraska-based indie rockers Cursive will be performing at Spaceland. NY/LA-based folk troubadours Elvis Perkins in Dearland are poised to headline the Troubadour. And, lastly, Highland Park's crown jewel, psych rockers Bodies of Water will be rocking out at Echo Curio. But we strongly suggest heading over to Redwood Bar & Grill in Downtown to catch folk rock singer-songwriter and ex-Golden Palomino, Syd Straw (LAist Interview).
