Sounds Like San Diego: April 21

head up to the Belly Up to catch the Revival Tour, featuring some of punk's finest

It has turned out to be a brilliant and beautiful weekend in San Diego. On Sunday, you can enjoy some more fun as Balboa Park hosts the annual EarthFair, full of vendors, local organizations and, of course, live-music stages. By nightfall, head up to the Belly Up to catch the Revival Tour, featuring some of punk's finest in dialed-down versions of themselves, as well as some up-and-coming indie-rock folkies. This is gonna be more of a night for your roughed-up cowboy boots and whiskey than your steel-toes and tall boys. If the Belly Up is too far out of your way tonight, Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly plays on the 5th Avenue sidestage of the House of Blues and will certainly play a mix of his 10 releases from over the years.
