Tonight South Carolina-bred folk maestro Iron and Wine will be performing for free, in-store at Amoeba Music in Hollyweird before taking on the Wiltern for two nights. English alternative rock trio White Lies, who recently released their sophomore endeavor, Ritual, are poised to take on the Troubadour with none other than local hard rock duo Giant Drag.
And, lastly, Long Beach-bred indie rock stalwarts the Cold War Kids (LAist Review, #2) will be taking on the Bootleg Theater with Grouplove in anticipation of their forthcoming third album, 2011's Mine Is Yours. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch Oklahoma-bred singer-songwriter Wanda Jackson, the First Lady of Rockabilly and America's first female Rock and Roll singer, who is touring in support of her latest Jack White-produced endeavor—2011's The Party Ain't Over.
