The 710 Beach Club has started a new acoustic happy hour each Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. On hand will be Marc Aliana (May 16), Dan the Blue Grass Hole (May 23) and Britt Doehring (May 30). With warm summer days just around the corner, these intimate acoustic happenings just feet from the roar of the ocean are the perfect way to get the weekend started early or just unwind after a hard day of work. All are seasoned performers, but of note is Aliana. A terrific guitarist in both acoustic and electric mode, he can also be heard performing with The Red Not Chili Peppers, among other groups. Though the shredding is toned down when he plays acoustic, the music is no less passionate, with Aliana\u2019s ability to mimic a cover song down to the tone particularly impressive.
\n\u2022 ACOUSTIC HAPPY HOUR: Thursdays at the 710 BEACH CLUB, 710 Garnet Ave. 5 p.m. 21 and up. www.710bc.com. Multi-instrumentalist Stefanie Schmitz performs at Caf\u00e9-Bar Europa on May 20. Adept at saxophone, clarinet and percussion, Schmitz can be seen around town with various combos, including Brazilian folk group Choro Sataque, though here she\u2019ll be accompanied by a few musical friends. Performing mostly instrumental jazz with improvisational touches, Schmitz and company provide an excellent soundtrack to a nice afternoon out at this intimate location. Because of the setting, the material tends toward the low-key side, but it\u2019s still engaging, with Schmitz\u2019 emotive playing sure to please jazz fans and diners alike. \u2022 STEFANIE SCHMITZ: Tuesday, May 20 at CAFE-BAR EUROPA, 873 Turqouise St. 4 p.m. 21 and up. www.theturquoise.com\/wordpress. Rockabilly fans won\u2019t want to miss Karling & The Kadavers at Tio Leo\u2019s on Saturday, May 24. Looking like a cross between Wanda Jackson and Betty Page, Karling and her band excel at vintage sounds circa the 1950s, full of strum and twang, rock \u2019n\u2019 roll and fun. The band\u2019s musical stories are all spelled out in its song titles, like “Thinkin\u2019 of Drinkin\u2019” and “Crazy Mabel,” both of which do capture a wonderful retro sound, though the attitude and spirit is timeless. They may be a good listen, but make sure to bring your dancing shoes. This is a group that will get your feet moving from the first beat. \u2022 KARLING & THE KADAVERS: Saturday, May 24 at TIO LEO\u2019S, 5302 Napa St. 9 p.m. 21 and up. Cover TBD. www.tioleos.com. San Diego\u2019s music community has a lot of respected jazz players, but few are as beloved as saxophonist Joe Marillo, who performs at Dizzy\u2019s on Saturday, May 24. The occasion is Marillo\u2019s 82nd birthday, with a performance by Joe and his Quintet featuring pianist Reka Parker. Affectionately known as the scene\u2019s “Godfather,” Marillo has released several great recordings. But his greater impact has been on the live club circuit and especially as a music teacher, where he has mentored and taught hundreds of students over the decades. This concert is a great opportunity to hear music from one of our town\u2019s living legends. Stop in and wish him a happy birthday.
\n\u2022 JOE MARILLO: Saturday, May 24 at DIZZY\u2019S, 4275 Mission Bay Drive. 8 p.m. $15. www.dizzysjazz.com. One of the hardest-working bands in San Diego, Sister Speak performs at Humphreys Backstage Live on Friday, May 30. Fronted by gifted songwriters guitarist Sherri-Anne and drummer Lisa Viegas, with award-winning guitarist Tolan Shaw and bassist Jacob Miranda rounding out the combo, the band is perennially on tour, forever crafting and road-testing material. Their indie rock touches on folk, with a highlight being the superb harmonies between Sherri-Anne and Shaw\u2019s voices, as heard on their new album, “Rise Up For Love.” Sister Speak is starting to tour further afield, with the immensely talented quartet earning some well-deserved praise from coast to coast.
\n\u2022 SISTER SPEAK: Friday, May 30, at HUMPHREYS BACKSTAGE LIVE, 2241 Shelter Island Drive, Shelter Island. 5 p.m. www.humphreysbackstagelive.com.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
