Our Pick: DM Stith, Silje Nes, Inlets, Ben and Bruno @ Spaceland
Tonight San Franciscan rocker Steve Miller Band will be headlining the Greek Theatre with Chicagoan Chicano rock act Los Lobos in tow. Pennsylvanian indie folk singer-songwriter Damien DeRose, who performs under the pseudonym Peasant, is poised to grace Space 15 Twenty early this afternoon for free, and the Hotel Café later this evening for not-so-free. And, lastly, New York indie rock quartet Papa will be taking on the Bootleg Theater. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Bloomington's own indie folk singer-songwriter DM Stith, or rather David Michael Stith. LAist favorites, Norwegian multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Silje Nes and Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Sebastian Krueger, who performs under the pseudonym Inlets, are poised to perform as well.
DM Stith - "Braid of Voices (Clark Remix)"
Support for LAist comes from
Silje Nes - "I Wanna Kill"
Inlets - "Famous Looks"
Steve Miller Band - "Jet Airliner"
Peasant - "Well Allright"
Papa - "You Live In My House"

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.
