There is no place in Pacific Beach quite like the Tiki House. A combination roadhouse and concert hall, it’s one of the best and most intimate spots to catch live music in San Diego. Despite its size, the Tiki House continually showcases some of the top rock, blues and Americana talent that San Diego has to offer. The tiny nightspot has now been providing local music fans tunes and suds for three decades. In honor of the occasion, the club will throw an anniversary party Saturday to celebrate its 30 years on Garnet Avenue. Club regulars already know the low-key magic of the place. But if you’ve never been, this is the perfect opportunity to check out the Tiki House as it kicks off what it anticipates as another 30 years. Tiki House 30th anniversary: 5:30 p.m., Saturday, April 3, 1152 Garnet Ave. Cover to be determined. 21 and up. Visit www.tikipb.com. One of the longest-running groups in San Diego, swing combo The Chicago Six, which appears at Tango Del Rey on April 9, formed in 1981. However, its membership has been fluid. During those 29 years, more than 170 musicians have been a member of the band in full- or part-time positions. One thing that hasn’t changed is the group’s dedication to classic jazz sounds, as heard on its 25 albums released to date. Worldwide favorites, the band has worked with a “who’s who” of music legends, from Lawrence Welk and Ray Conniff to Mike Wofford and Mundell Lowe. However, it’s when providing the soundtrack to a night of lindy hop or other dance floor action that Chicago Six truly shines. Anyone who wants an excuse to get out the dancing shoes needs look no further. Chicago Six: 4:45 p.m., Friday, April 9 at Tango Del Rey, 3567 Del Rey St. All ages. Cover to be determined.

Made up of guitarist Joe Satriani, drummer Chad Smith (ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers), Michael Anthony (ex-Van Halen) and Sammy Hagar, while all stars in their own right, Chickenfoot adds up to more than the sum of their parts. Fans have been ravenous for new music. So much so that the band is sending out a film of one of their concerts on a nationwide club tour, stopping in at Soundwave, on April 10. While the band will not be present, if you’re a fan, you’ll love the chance to see the high-definition performance on state-of-the-art screens with the sound pumped through the club’s public address system. With the cost of touring skyrocketing, expect to see more of this type of event in the future. Chickenfoot virtual tour: 8 p.m., Saturday, April 10 at the Soundwave, 3105 Oceanfront Walk. Tickets are $8 in advance. 21 and up. Visit www.chickenfoot.us. Though most music fans in San Diego may be unaware, there is a small, but thriving local classical music scene. While large organizations such as the San Diego Symphony get most of the spotlight, there are numerous other smaller groups which perform at the area’s libraries and concert halls. Among the performers is the Annarocele Quartet, who appear at the Pacific Beach Library on April 14. Made up of Anna Savvas-Katkov (piano), Natalka Kytasty (violin), Robie Evens (viola) and Cecilia Kim (cello), the group was founded in 2006, performing piano-based material by the likes of Mendelssohn and Schumann. Whether you are a classical aficionado or a pop fan looking to branch out from the traditional guitars/bass/drums axis, the virtuoso performers in the Annarocele Quartet delivers on all fronts. Annarocele Quartet: 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 14 at the Pacific Beach Library, 4275 Cass St. All ages. No cover charge. Visit www.pblibraryfriends.org/concert.htm.
