July 12 \u2013 Get Back Loretta, The Palace Ballroom, Flaggs, and Neighbors to the North<\/b><\/p>\n
The bands on this lineup are all along the indie-rock spectrum. Get Back Loretta headlines with a retro pop feel. If you recognize the Beatles reference in their name you\u2019ll have an idea of their sound. The Palace Ballroom takes a melodic approach to rock for a post-emo sort of style. The female-fronted group Flaggs will amp things up with fuzzy garage rock. And Neighbors to the North will round out the night with energetic rock jams. 9 p.m. $8+<\/p>\n
July 16 \u2013 Robert Francis & The Night Tide, Vikesh Kapoor, and Maxim Ludwig<\/b><\/p>\n
Singer-songwriter Robert Francis has covered a lot of emotional ground in his lyrics over the years. Blending indie-folk with tinges of pop, his tunes possess depth while remaining catchy and accessible (give his 2009 track \u201cJunebug\u201d a listen for an example of this dreamy combo).\u00a0 His newly released fourth album \u201cHeaven\u201d continues to explore the pop-folk genre with a haunting rawness to Francis\u2019 vocals. This style should fit well in the intimate darkness of the Casbah. 9 p.m. $10<\/p>\n
Croce\u2019s Park West –\u00a0<\/b>CrocesParkWest.com<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
July 24 \u2013 Besos de Coco \u2014 part of the \u201cWomen in Jazz\u201d series<\/b><\/p>\n
The songs performed by Besos de Coco are as enchantingly beautiful as the trio themselves. Comprised of veteran performers Lorraine Castellanos, Claudia Gomez Vorce and Evona Wascinski, the group performs an eclectic range of music. They draw from Latin and jazz genres along with several other worldly influences. Castellanos\u2019 deft guitar work is perfectly paired with Wascinski\u2019s skillful playing on double bass, and Gomez Vorce\u2019s incredible tap dance percussion completes the triple-threat. 7 p.m. $5<\/p>\n
July 31 \u2013 Gilbert Castellanos and The Park West Ensemble<\/b><\/p>\n
It seems you can\u2019t throw a rock in this town without hitting something Gilbert Castellanos has a hand in \u2014 between his own performances all over town and booking a summer concert series at the Westgate Hotel, he even makes time to attend performances by his lovely wife (Lorraine, of Besos de Coco). The renowned trumpeter is a regular at Croce\u2019s. His spin on jazz and Latin jazz styles is a great fit for the fun atmosphere. 7 p.m. $5<\/p>\n
House of Blues – <\/b>HouseofBlues.com<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
July 12 \u2013 La Roux<\/b><\/p>\n
Once a duo, synthpop act La Roux has evolved in to the solo project of Elly Jackson. The redheaded singer boasts an androgynous look with angular features that mirror the sharp and polished sound of her music. Two tracks from La Roux\u2019s new album Trouble in Paradise show a growing range for the artist; \u201cLet Me Down Gently\u201d is a soft, emotionally-charged song while \u201cUptight Downtown\u201d is beat-driven and dance-ready. 8 p.m. $32+<\/p>\n
July 24 \u2013 The Aquabats with Koo Koo Kanga Roo<\/b><\/p>\n
Forming in the early 1990s in Orange County, The Aquabats were a fixture of the music scene of Southern California almost immediately. Their ska sound fit the soundscape of the time and the bands theatrical antics and wild costumes garnered them a fanatic following. Their music evolved in later years, as did their lineup. Their current tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of band and their San Diego stop promises to be a fun-filled show for longtime and new fans alike. 8 p.m. $32<\/p>\n

Humphreys\u2019 stellar concert series rolls on with a San Diego favorite \u2014 Jewel.\u00a0 The songstress started her career here, as a local singer-songwriter (and barista).

Tori Amos is touring in support of her 14th studio release \u2014 an amazing accomplishment in itself. The classically trained musician has been heralded for her innovative sound as well as her raw lyrical content. With a career spanning nearly 30 years, Amos has lots of material to draw from including her latest \u201cUnrepentant Geraldines.\u201d The album has been proclaimed by some as her return to pop and alternative genres. 7:30 p.m. $65+<\/p>\n
August 1 \u2013 Dave Koz & Friends Summer Horn Tour<\/b><\/p>\n
Some smooth jazz favorites came together with saxophonist Dave Koz for the album Summer Horns last year. The disc garnered a Grammy nomination and sparked a tour for fans of Koz and friends. The lineup features additional saxophonists Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot with Koz\u2019s band of musicians supporting. The group will play selections from the album along with tunes from their individual catalogues for a diverse night of music. 7:30 p.m $70+<\/p>\n
