Goodnight Texas, The Bones of J.R. Jones, and The Whiskey Circle at Soda Bar<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Saturday, Aug. 16, 9 p.m.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

$10\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Americana rockers Goodnight, Texas are on tour in support of their newly released album \u201cUncle John Farquhar\u201d and San Diego is lucky enough to be a stop along the way. The band\u2019s latest offering takes the classic folk-country sounds of earlier tunes amping up the style with upbeat rhythms and a whole lot of strings; banjo, mandolin, and bright bold guitar are prominent throughout the disc. The storytelling elements of the tracks, which draw inspiration from our country\u2019s history, make for a cinematic musical journey.<\/p>\n

Champ and R.A. Rosenborg at Sycamore Den<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Saturday, Aug. 23, 10 p.m.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Free<\/b><\/p>\n

In recent months Sycamore Den has hosted many folk and country-tinged acts in their hunting lodge-like atmosphere. While I love that style as much as the next girl, it\u2019s nice to see the venue venturing into other parts of the San Diego scene. Champ is a synthpop trio with vocalist Ferran\u00a0Nicolls at the forefront. Nicolls\u2019 voice is mesmerizing in its balance of powerful and angelic tones. Opening the show is R.A. Rosenborg, the solo project of Rutger Rosenborg of local indie-pop darlings Ed Ghost Tucker; his style follows suit with a psychedelic feel to his first single \u201cWagner (Gulls).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMotown Under Cover\u201d\u00a0at The Office<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Monday, Aug. 25, 9 p.m.<\/b><\/p>\n

$5<\/b><\/p>\n

On the last Monday of each month, musicians from some of San Diego\u2019s top bands gather to perform covers by a pre-determined artist. The events are organized by Lauren Scheff (Get Back Loretta\/Kevin Martin) and Julie Mossa of The Office in the hopes of bringing the \u201cmusical community together\u201d according to Scheff. Past Under Covers have included tributes to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and others. Tonight\u2019s event has a broader theme featuring hits from Motown artists. Notable performers scheduled to appear include Stevie Harris (The Styletones), Steven Bradford (Get Back Loretta), Omar Lopez (\u00c1frojazziacs), Rebecca Jade, Whitney Shay and many others. \u201cIt is a very special night for not only the musicians and singers, but the people who watch,\u201d Scheff described of the events. \u201cIt\u2019s magical.\u201d Two sets start promptly at 9 p.m. \u2014 don\u2019t be late!<\/p>\n

Leopold and His Fiction, and The Nervous Wreckords at Kasbah<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Aug. 26, 9 p.m.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

$8<\/b><\/p>\n

Leopold and His Fiction is led by talented vocalist and guitarist Daniel James. With rock \u2018n\u2019 roll chops, he draws from blues, country and other genres for a unique and bold sound. The songs manage to capture the wild spirit of garage rock without spiraling completely out of control. Roaming guitar solos are a signature of the band and keep the energy at full throttle.<\/p>\n

SoundDiego Live featuring Barbarian and Buddy Banter at Bar Pink<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Friday, Aug. 29, 9 p.m.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Free<\/b><\/p>\n

Each month SoundDiego hosts a live music event that shines a spotlight on local talents and draws in the who\u2019s who of our music scene. This month Barbarian and Buddy Banter are set to play with an additional band to be announced. Both bands blend psychedelic and pop sounds for a melodic mixture that\u2019s as warmly familiar as your favorite pair of fuzzy slippers; pair that with the free Jack Daniel\u2019s cocktails and you\u2019re in for a blissed out evening.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
