Time sure does fly. Sometimes that can work to our benefit and sometimes it can be a drag, but with respect to the work week, let's just say every day closer to the weekend is okay by me, especially when there are great live-music options to carry us through. Tonight at Sleep Train Amphitheatre, Weezer and Panic! At The Disco co-headline a show that should have 10,000 people singing along to all the hits. At the Observatory, Sean Lennon and Primus' legendary bassist and frontman Les Claypool have collaborated for the Claypool Lennon Delirium. At the Belly Up, catch Beth Hart or enjoy the second night of Gary Clark Jr. at Humphreys. If you're budget doesn't afford all the big shows, head to the Office for all of your favorite locals playing their favorite country covers and originals.
