SPOTLIGHT<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

On April 28, acclaimed guitarist Peter Sprague (above) will celebrate the music of The Beatles as part of the Fourth Friday Jazz series taking place at the La Jolla Community Center. As heard on his latest SDMA nominated album, \u201cPlays The Beatles: Day Tripper,\u201d Sprague has recast the best of Lennon and McCartney\u2019s tunes to both highlight the melodies and showcase his own virtuoso playing. It all adds up to a wonderful listen, particularly in a live setting where Sprague\u2019s inspired playing can be seen as well as heard. Backed by multi-instrumentalist Tripp Sprague and bassist Mackenzie Leighton at this performance, even the most jaded Beatles fan will enjoy Sprague\u2019s updated versions of these timeless songs,<\/p>\n

Peter Sprague Plays The Beatles: Friday, April 28 at the La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. 8 p.m. $25-$35. ljcommunitycenter.org<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Los Angeles-based Motley Crue doppelgangers, Motley 2, stop in at the 710 Beach Club on April 29. Beyond playing solid versions of classic rock tunes, the group goes the extra mile, dressing like the originals circa 1984, complete with wigs and replica instruments. Diehard Motley Crue fans will appreciate the occasional deep dive into their catalog, but more casual listeners can rest assured that Motley 2 delivers the hits, from \u201cLooks That Kill\u201d to \u201cHome Sweet Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although contemporary jazz pianist Burt Brion can most often be seen in solo mode around town, on April 30 at his Humphrey\u2019s Backstage Live performance, he will be backed by a full band. Brion has several albums to his credit, most recently 2016\u2019s \u201cThe Secret\u2019s Out,\u201d spotlighting original tunes as well as choice covers from his repertoire, which includes songs from the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Grover Washington, and Bruno Mars. At the heart of Brion\u2019s music is an R&B groove, making his shows such as this one, both a terrific listening experience as well as perfect for dancing.<\/p>\n

Burt Brion: Sunday, April 30 at Humphrey\u2019s Backstage Live, 2241 Shelter Island Dr<\/i>ive<\/i>. 6 p.m. $20. humphreysbackstagelive.com<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Athenaeum\u2019s Acoustic Evenings concert series wraps up this season\u2019s performances on May 5 with music from guitarist Fred Benedetti, bluegrass-inspired group MohaviSoul, and Americana trio Trails and Rails. It\u2019s a great bill, start to finish, with Trails and Rails Western and cowboy songs being a nice contrast to Benedetti\u2019s wonderful jazz and Spanish guitar instrumentals. Meanwhile, MohaviSoul\u2019s spirited rhythms and harmonies will make attendees wish the Athenaeum had a dance floor. This show is an excellent cross-section of San Diego\u2019s music community, in one of San Diego\u2019s finest listening rooms.<\/p>\n

Acoustic Evenings: Friday, May 5 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. 7:30 p.m. $5-$20 ljathenaeum.org<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n
