The Casbah stage has been graced by many underrated and legendary performers, and tonight you can be up close and personal with one of them. Willie Nile, at a spry 70 years old, has toured with the Who and shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. Meanwhile, the Belly Up hosts some legends, too, in the music of the Aaron Neville Duo, while the Fray performs at the San Diego County Fair. If you're looking for something in the afternoon, head to the House of Blues to catch the touring School of Rock band featuring local kids.
