Every few weeks I get the opportunity to book a show around town, and I appreciate being allowed to shamelessly promote them here. I know there are several great shows around tonight, but I would love to see you come out and support some great live acts that I've put together for this bill at the Casbah. Michael McGraw has a full band, and because people always ask, no, he's not related to Tim McGraw, nor is he a country singer, though there is a slight twang in his rock & roll. He's a solid performer, and tonight his band is celebrating the physical release of their EP, You Don't Know Nuthin' and That's What Makes It Alright, which until now was only available digitally. They'll be joined by the Whiskey Saints, a great band getting tons of buzz in their hometown of LA but finally making it to San Diego to show us what they've got. Rounding out the bill is the Get Down Automatic, who you might have seen at our last SoundDiego LIVE party. This duo shreds and converts new fans everytime they take the stage, so come early, stay late and let this great rock & roll lineup help you get over your humpday.
