Tonight In Rock: Van Morrison, Patrick Watson, Local Natives, The Devil Makes Three
()
Patrick Watson will be playing tonight at the Hotel Café | Picture via Patrick Watson's Myspace
Our Pick: Patrick Watson and guests, The Widows, Dalton Grant, Checkpoint Charlie @ The Hotel Café
Tonight legendary Belfast-bred singer-songwriter Van Morrison will be taking on his second night of a three-date stint at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown. LAist favorites Local Natives (LAist Review) are poised to grace Spaceland with local indie rockers Voxhaul Broadcast, Aushua and Rumspringa (LAist Review, #2). And, lastly, Santa Cruz-based bluegrass outfit the Devil Makes Three will be headlining the Troubadour. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson, who will invariably dazzle you with his ethereal voice.

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.
