Five local shows over the next two weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

Jen Van Tieghem<\/p>\n

Chuck Ragan and Rusty Maples at Kasbah<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, Sept. 15 | Doors at 8:30 p.m. | $18 advanced\/$20 day of show<\/strong><\/p>\n

Singer-songwriter Chuck Ragan is a man of many talents. In addition to spending over a decade with punk group Hot Water Music, his solo work has also garnered a loyal following and in 2012, he put out a book! His emotive, throaty vocals match the storytelling style of his songs, drawing the listener in. Opening the show are Las Vegas folk rockers Rusty Maples. These guys keep popping up in San Diego with beguiling tunes and energetic performances \u2014 not that I\u2019m complaining. Check out their tune \u201cBetter in Blue\u201d and just try to keep your toes from tapping.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Radio Halloran presents Saint Diego, Social Club, and Viva Apollo at The Merrow<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, Sept. 16 | 9 p.m. | $5 or free with RSVP<\/strong><\/p>\n

When The Griffin closed earlier this year it left a void in the local scene and pulled the plug on 91X DJ Michael Halloran\u2019s weekly music showcases. Thankfully, his events have found a new home at The Merrow. Retro rockers Saint Diego and pop-rock outfit Social Club should bring in lots of locals for this one. But it\u2019s the show\u2019s openers, Viva Apollo, who have had my attention as of late. Singer Amanda Portela\u2019s powerhouse vocals and the band\u2019s eclectic sound are just a couple reasons to get to this early and catch all three bands.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tree Ring and My Name is You at The Irenic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, Sept. 17 | Doors at 7 p.m. | $15<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not very often that an album release show and a band\u2019s final performance occur on the same night, but The Tree Ring is also not a typical band. The ensemble\u2019s third full-length album Ten Rivers<\/em> was \u201cinspired by weekend adventures and made to accompany yours.\u201d A fine example of this, \u201cBeside A River,\u201d is laced with strings and delicate harmonies weaving a majestic soundscape. The calming beauty of the band\u2019s sound is sure to be in focus with the intimacy of The Irenic and a rare seated show at the church-by-day\/music-venue-by-night setting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The New Kinetics, The Cardielles, and Pleasure Fix at Tin Can Alehouse<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Sept. 20 | 9 p.m. | $8<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you need a serious rock \u2018n\u2019 roll injection in your Saturday night, here\u2019s the place to get it. The New Kinetics have been through line-up changes and a break up (albeit a brief one) and risen to the top of vintage-sounding rock groups in town. Their sounds are powerful and provocative with fronting couple Birdy Bardot and Brian Reilly sharing vocal duty. The Cardielles follow suit with fuzzy garage rock and Pleasure Fix adds a punk edge to the evening. Also check out Tin Can\u2019s selection of craft beer from near and far \u2014 good brews go best with good tunes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commune Wednesdays presents James Supercave and R.A. Rosenborg at Soda Bar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, Sept. 24 | 8:30 p.m. | Free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commune events present an interesting mixture of live music, artisans peddling wares and an anti-big tobacco message interweaved. Organizers work to educate show-goers on the agenda of the smoking industry and how the music scene is targeted. Besides all that, the shows are free and the bands are usually fantastic. This time L.A. band James Supercave will bring their intricate sounds to the stage blending psychedelic pop with rock brimming with catchy rhythms. Local musician R.A. Rosenborg (Ed Ghost Tucker) is no stranger to trippy synth and mesmerizing beats; the performances should mesh well.<\/p>\n
