Tonight In Rock: Rick Springfield, Gillian Welch, Sara and Sean Watkins, The Eye The Ear & The Arm

Our Pick: Rawlings Machine with Gillian Welch @ Largo at the Coronet
Tonight Australian-American singer-songwriter Rick Springfield will be headlining the Roxy. Get rickrolled in person! North Hollywood-based indie rock outfit the Eye the Ear & the Arm are poised to play Mr T's Bowl in Highland Park. And, lastly, Sara and Sean Watkins of the now-defunct Nickelcreek will be performing at Largo at the Coronet's Little Room for the famed Watkins Family Hour. But we strongly suggest heading over to the main room at Largo at the Coronet to catch bluegrass singer-songwriter Gillian Welch with her longtime musical partner Dave Rawlings.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
