January at the Casbah is always a great time, because along with amazing touring acts, lots of local bands from past and present come out to celebrate the venue's anniversary month. Tonight, join Get Back Loretta, Buckfast Superbee and more for a blistering Saturday night of fun. At the Belly Up, another type of anniversary is happening, as the Farmers celebrate the annual Beat Farmers Hootenanny with tons of special guests keeping the memories of Country Dick alive forever. Around town, Joe Satriani and supergroup G3 play at Balboa Theatre, fiddle and guitar virtuoso duo DePue de Hoyos play at Lestat's and Slabatory hosts a night of punk at Soda Bar.
