Although Viejas in the Park only returned this year after a several-year hiatus, their short season still offered up some pretty great artists. Tonight, for example, you can head to the Alpine casino to catch country legend Dwight Yoakam. Meanwhile, the Belly Up hosts the silky voice of Grammy-nominated singer John Waite who celebrates four decades in music. At the Casbah, get in the fun with the Dabbers, Bar Pink puts bands together with Rock n' Roll Lotto, and Soda Bar hosts electro-indie duo the Upper Strata.
