It's a battle of the singer-songwriter tonight in San Diego. Country-music singer Tyler Childers, whose debut album, "Purgatory," was produced by Sturgill Simpson, makes his Casbah debut, while Aussie Stu Larsen hits House of Blues in support of his second full length, "Resolute." If you need something a bit more rockin', our buddies in Creepseed will be at the Lou Niles-curated In Your Neighborhood show at the Belly Up (read the SoundDiego interview with Niles here), and Of Ennui slay Soda Bar. If you're looking to support a good cause and party on a Wednesday, head to Neon Summer at Port Pavilion which is supporting GetChargedUp, a nonprofit aiming to bring clean energy to underserved populations across the globe.
