Too much good music in one night might fall in the category of #FirstWorldProblems. There are some really exceptional shows on Wednesday that it might be hard to pick one over the other, but you're just going to have to make your own analysis. Chicago's Califone is always a phenomenal live show, and since they haven't performed here in two years, this might just be a winner, as locals Little White Teeth prepare the chill vibe of the show.

Over at Soda Bar, further evidence of music finding its roots will be present as the lineup provides an assortment of fresh Americana and folk with enough pop to get you hooked. Morrissey must really love San Diego because he's back again, this time with a sold-out show at Balboa Theatre, while New Orleans' infamous Galactic are sure to shake up at the Belly Up. Whatever it is you choose, I know there will be some special magic in the air and I look forward to see what the nighttime brings.
