Tonight In Rock: Joseph Arthur, Daniel Ahearn, Amanda Jo Williams, The Western States Motel

Daniel Ahearn will be performing tonight at Lot 1 Cafe | Picture via Daniel Ahearn's Myspace
Our Pick: Jake Bellows, Daniel Ahearn's record release, Judson & Mary @ Lot 1 Cafe
Tonight Akron-bred folk rock singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur will be headlining the Bootleg Theater. Los Angeles-by-way-of-Georgia country-infused folk songstress Amanda Jo Williams is poised to grace the Echo.
And, lastly, local indie rockers the Western States Motel (LAist Interview, Review) will be taking on LaBrie's in Glendale with none other than Pacific Hurt, formerly known as Santa Ana-based indie rockers Aushua in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to Lot 1 Cafe to catch Echo Park-by-way-of-Brooklyn singer-songwriter Daniel Ahearn, who will be showcasing songs from his latest record—2011's Long Way Home. LAist favorites, Echo Park-based folk duo Judson and Mary are slated to kick things off.
