This isn't your average Sunday in San Diego. With tomorrow's holiday, a whole lot of places stepped up their game to not only offer great music but food, too. So whether you go for BBQ at the Tower Bar or the Shakedown, Gaglione Brothers cheesesteaks at the Casbah or Resurrection Brunch with our own Robin Roth at West Coast Tavern, there are some great musical pairings to go with your full belly. It should be noted that the free Casbah show is the vinyl release party for Cry for Us Black Swans and, sadly, vocalist Jon Piotrowski will be moving soon, so this might be your last chance to catch the band before he's gone. Sounds like reason enough to drop by the Casbah. Sound like a great day in San Diego.
