SoundDiego covered Sunset Sessions extensively last year, providing videos, interviews and pictures to keep you in the loop on the exclusive music-industry event. We'll be heading back to the event this weekend to bring you more coverage, but in a rare glimpse behind the curtain, you can actually attend a show with one of this year's big draws on Wednesday when reggae legend Jimmy Cliff performs at the Belly Up. The night should be a memorable one, with Cliff sharing stories from his colorful life and impressive music career. If that doesn't suit your fancy, Howlin' Rain is at the Casbah, eukele master Jake Shimabukuro shreds at the Balboa Theater, and guitar legend Ottmar Liebert performs two shows at Anthology.
