We're already halfway through the week, so rejoice with some live music. At the Civic Theatre, legend and Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt performs. With Richard Thompson opening, this is about a solid night of music as they come. Meanwhile, Sleep Train Amphitheatre is busy this week and tonight, expect some super fun tailgating long before Dead & Company even hit the stage. Around town, Escort bring their disco-vibe back to the Casbah after playing there just a few months back, Sick Balloons bring their dirty fuzz to the Belly Up, and the Merrow has a solid show with the next gen of San Diego singer/songwriters.
