You'd think that the music scene would totally check out so close to Christmas, but the reality is that Wednesday is a great night to see a live show. At the Belly Up, shine your boots and venture to check out SoundDiego LIVE veterans Nancarrow, as they rally Brawley and Rosie Flores for a country Christmas, or ride your Vespa down to the Casbah for Manual Scan, who have just returned from a tour in Spain. Dave Koz returns for his annual Christmas tour at Balboa Theatre, or you can celebrate a Berkley Hart Christmas at the Music Box or catch some French pysch-pop at Soda Bar. You probably have tomorrow off, so treat yourself and have yourself a very merry Wednesday.
