Alex & Sam

Our Pick: Alex and Sam, Lamps @ Home Restaurant (Free!)

Tonight contemporary classical composer Nico Muhly will be performing at the Walt Disney Music Hall in Downtown. Local folk rockers Whispertown 2000 (LAist Interview, Review, #2) and the Broken West (LAist Review) are poised to play at the Echo for this month's edition of Kidrockers. And, lastly, LAist's favorite alt-rockers Everest (LAist Review, #2) will be playing an in-store session at Fingerprints in Long Beach early on in the afternoon. But we strongly suggest heading over to Home Restaurant to catch jazz-infused pop duo Alex & Sam (LAist Interview, Review).
