It\u2019s the season for outdoor fun in San Diego and one of the best options is the weekly California Dreaming event taking place at the Bahia Resort Hotel every Thursday through Aug. 25. Taking place from 6 to 9 p.m., California Dreaming is the ultimate mix of fun in the sun, including a clambake, barbecue, craft brews and great music. It all adds up to a fun night out, right on the beach. Music is provided by beloved, long running local cover band, The Mar Dels. Founded in 1982, The Mar Dels are simply one of the best cover bands you will ever hear, clearly having a good time on stage with a huge repertoire of songs, from the 1940s up. For this shindig, the band specializes in beach party favorites such as the Beach Boys and the Ventures, alongside a mix of \u201960s and \u201970s era classics. California Dreaming: Thursdays in June, at the Bahia Resort, 998 West Mission Bay Drive. 6 p.m. bahiahotel.com. The Backyard kitchen\u2019s music offerings are generally top notch solo acoustic performers such as Patric Dowling (June 29) and Casey Turner (July 6), but bands are also featured, like Rhythm & Rude, who appear on July 3. The quartet excels at Island sounds with a tight mix of originals and reggae standards in their repertoire. The only slight downside to this show is its noon start time, but for any early rising reggae fans, Rhythm & Rude\u2019s set will be a great way to end a weekend. Rhythm & Rude, Sunday, July 3 at the Backyard Kitchen & Tap, 832 Garnet Ave. Noon. No cover. backyardpb.com. Blues fans won\u2019t want to miss The Charles Burton Blues Band, performing at Tio Leo\u2019s on June 30. Burton is an excellent guitarist, with a sweet and clear Chicago-styled tone. He has released excellent albums such as 2013 SDMA nominee, “Sweet Potato Pie,” but its as a dance band where this trio excels. With a set list full of crowd pleasers, the band offers up something for just about everybody. Whether performing standards like “Got My Mojo Workin,” transforming pop classics such as “Stormy” or turning in ace originals like “Brown Paper,” this performance will be the perfect antidote to the mid-week blues. The Charles Burton Blues Band: Thursday, June 30 at Tio Leo\u2019s, 5302 Napa St. 9 p.m. 21 and up. Cover TBD. tioleos.com. On July 2 at Dizzy\u2019s, two guitar legends, Peter Sprague and Fred Benedetti, join forces to perform unique arrangements of the music of the Beatles. The performances will be instrumental, giving listeners an opportunity for an unobstructed listen to this duo\u2019s fretwork. There is no question that the material set to be played is terrific. Songs such as “Here Comes The Sun” and “Blackbird” are all part of the culture at this point, but this duo\u2019s playing brings out hidden aspects of the songs, bringing them into new light. If you are a fan of either the Fabs or brilliant fretwork, this one\u2019s for you. Peter Sprague and Fred Benedetti: Saturday, July 2 at Dizzy\u2019s, 200 Harbor Drive. 8 p.m. All ages. dizzysjazz.com.

The Tangier Bar is the perfect place to listen to music while having a drink, Hanna\u2019s music adding the perfect soundtrack to a great night out. The Jason Hanna Trio: Fridays at the Bahia Resort, 998 West Mission Bay Drive. 8 p.m. 21 and up. No cover. bahiabelle.com.

The 2015 SDMA winners for Best World Music, the band\u2019s success is their ability to get an audience involved, with Santiago Orozco clearly one of the town\u2019s best front men.
