This Father's Day, make sure you take advantage of all this town has to offer. Perhaps you want to take dad to the San Diego County Fair for the final day of the International Beer Festival, but by nightfall, it's all about music! Dustbowl Revival return fresh off their sophomore release that dropped Friday, and it was already No. 1 on the Amazon and Billboard Americana charts based on pre-orders alone. At Mattress Firm Amphitheatre, Boston and Joan Jett pair up for some rock nostalgia. Around town, Teenage Burritos play Soda Bar, Hellyeah is at the Observatory and the Belly Up features "The Revival of the Singer/Songwriter" with Steph Johnson and other great local performers.
