The year is coming to a close, and while everyone seems to be buzzing after a great weekend of shows and looking toward New Year's Eve, San Diego is still offering up great music tonight. Legendary musician Dave Alvin returns to the Casbah with the Gene Taylor Blues Band while Soda Bar offers up an eclectic lineup. Up at the Belly Up, a tradition continues as Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven return for their annual end of the year show, while Lestat's keeps it mellow. It's a great night if you need to spread your wings and rock out after being cooped up glued to football.
