There are some musicians everyone wants to see in their lifetime and with a tour defined by its finality, tonight's Brian Wilson show at the Civic Theatre is definitely a hot ticket. The way "Pet Sounds" has influenced generations of musicians and fans is immeasurable and this show is certain to go down in the annals of legendary San Diego shows. Meanwhile, Melissa Etheridge is a legend in her own right and will please the crowd at Humphreys Concerts. In Solana Beach, Colorado folksters Elephant Revival will offer beautiful music and my dear friend Steve Poltz is back in town to offer his support. Lastly, if you're the kind of person who goes to Coachella for the Sahara dance tent, look no further than young French producer Fakear at the Casbah to blow your EDM mind.
