The Athenaeum\u2019s Acoustic Evening series returns on April 7. Promoted by local music favorite, Jefferson Jay, each concert features three top performers playing short sets, with a great lineup for <\/span>this year<\/span>\u2019s first edition: guitarist Greg Douglass <\/span>(encima)<\/span>, the singer-songwriter duo of Blossom and Bloom, and rhythmic combo Ritmo Latino. All are well worth hearing, but the nod here goes to Douglass, an inspired, unique lead player, who has scored major chart hits as a member of both The Steve Miller Band (\u201cJungle Love\u201d) and The Greg Kihn Band (\u201cJeopardy\u201d) and also penned TV theme songs (CBS-TV\u2019s \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d). These shows are a great way to showcase the best of San Diego\u2019s performers, in one of the area\u2019s best listening rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acoustic Evenings:<\/b><\/i><\/span> Friday, April 7 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. 7:30 p.m. $15-$39. ljathenaeum.org.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

1980\u2019s era R&B hitmakers, New Edition, stop in at Pechanga Arena on April 6.

Bell\u2019s most recent album, \u201cJames Taylor Reimagined,\u201d contains masterful reworkings of Taylor\u2019s hits, however, jazz fans will first want to give Bell\u2019s 2016 original release, \u201cBrooklyn Dreams,\u201d a listen to hear the full range of her talents.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the busiest musicians in town, she\u2019s at home singing the blues or letting loose on a Pink Floyd cover, Leigh can do it all.

Fourth time the charm?

Currently touring in support of their most recent album, \u201cBook,\u201d the group\u2019s sound hasn\u2019t strayed too far from their early 1990s hits such as \u201cBirdhouse In Your Soul\u201d or \u201cIstanbul (Not Constantinople),\u201d both of which feature in the current setlist. While the group hasn\u2019t scored a major hit in some time, they have a fanatical fan base that\u2019s sure to know the lyrics to every song, no matter how deep the band digs into its catalog. <\/span><\/p>\n
