We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and we especially want to give thanks to all the bars and venues that keep San Diego's music scene so amazing. Tonight, we've got some great shows around town after we've hit all the record stores for Record Store Day Black Friday and celebrate the grand opening of the Vinyl Junkies Record Shack in South Park. At the Casbah, wear your dancing shoes for the annual return of Big Sandy & His Flyrite Boys, or get your Johnny Cash vibe going with Cash'd Out at the Belly Up. The Grecian goddesses of Barb Wire Dolls play Space and it's all about reggae with Fortunate Youth at the Observatory. These are just a smattering of all the great music choices to really get you in the groove.
