San Diego has a special love affair with Shakey Graves, so it should come as no surprise that after playing places like the Casbah and Belly Up for years, the next natural step is a show at the Observatory. With Lauren Ruth Ward opening this special night, it's a given that this show is sold out. Around town, the Specials play House of Blues, and Brazilian musician Seu Jorge plays Belly Up. It's also a really special night at the Casbah as Quel Bordel play the Casbah for their final time as San Diegans. They've had an amazing run and have set many a stage on fire with their amazing performances, so I hope everyone who's loved the band comes out to bid them farewell.
