On first listen, my reaction to The Red River’s Little Songs About the Big Picture was, “How did I miss the boat on these guys?” The group is led by singer and composer Bill Roberts, who incorporated his various roommates in Long Beach to create a gorgeous set of orchestral pop. He slathers on French horn, strings, keyboards and guitars to make some utterly beautiful indie-pop that seems timeless in its sentiments, and its sound. And to think I believed Snoop Dogg was the only worthwhile performer to come out of Long Beach. Bobby and the Tiger and The Awful Truth open the show. Kilby Court, 741 S. 330 West, 7 p.m., $6
