Live Music Best Bets Oct 18 - 24

Posted // 2012-10-17 - Here are the tunes to complement our live-music selections for the week of Sept. 13. Have a listen.

As someone who believes strongly in the power of a tightly curated playlist, I must forewarn that this is not that. This jukebox serves as a way to listen to one track from each of City Weekly’s Music Live bands of the week.

This week’s live-music selections range from one of the best tribute band’s around (Dark Star Orchestra) to the best ukulele player ever (Jake Shimabukuro), and from a new generation of hip-hop pioneers (Kendrick Lamar and Zion I) to sleepy, dreamy indie pop (Lord Huron and Bowerbirds). This is a week to get out and see some live music!

Have a listen:
