MUST HEAR: The Heroes On Sept. 2, the 2012 La Jolla Concerts by the Sea Series closes with a performance by one of the area’s favorite cover bands, The Heroes. A true crowd-pleasing band, The Heroes’ set list is massive, taking in hits from the 1930s to today. Whether it’s swing or disco, rock or country, there are few bands in the area that could play such an eclectic mix of hits and play them so well. With its combination of classic tunes and the most spectacular concert setting in San Diego, this family-friendly Sunday afternoon concert will be hard to beat.
