There are some awesome shows Tuesday night, and I think that you can still get home in time for a full night's sleep. At the Belly Up, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors headline the night. Drew has been to town a handful of times over the past few years, and whether it's solo or with the band, he commands the stage with his knack for storytelling and a voice that is at the same time silky and booming, doing folk rock in a way that few others can. Meanwhile at the Casbah, Distant Cousins are in town, bringing their LA indie-pop to the market that so many other Angelenos often ignore. Opening the show is Rivvers, with indie folk in the gravelly vocal stylings of Joshua James or Passenger. Around town, Soda Bar's got a local show with Woodruff headlining, and the Merrow hosts Halloran's night with Subtropics. Certainly these or any of the options down the list can make for a really great Tuesday night in San Diego.
