Don't hate me because the best Sunday show is already sold-out: Gregory Alan Isakov. He's an indie folk singer -- he may not be a household name yet, but he can be heard on The Loft at Sirius XM and Slacker indie chill radio. He performed last in 2011 at Lestat's (I believe this is Isakov's first time back since then). If you missed out on tickets, the good news is your backup plans aren't too shabby with Leopold & His Fiction at the Casbah; or locals Okapi Sun at Bar Pink. Whatever you choose, it's still a solid Sunday night of live music, so take advantage of it.
