Sounds Like San Diego: November 8

Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt head up an eclectic bevy of live-music options Sunday, Nov. 8

If you're looking for two songwriting legends, look no further than Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt. The two perform at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and while this might be quite a drive for many San Diegans, it is hard to imagine a more talented and complementary bill. Lovett is easily one of my favorite storytellers and you will get your money's worth for the effort. Meanwhile, in the central part of the county, it's a local night at the Casbah with three awesome acts that incorporate their Latino vibes with rock, the Observatory hosts hip-hop with Curren$y, and Olympian power trio Strange Wilds rock the Soda Bar.
