Wednesday night there are some big names in town, including Murs at the Casbah and Van Halen at Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Even local avocado grower Jason Mraz is in on the fun with Mike Halloran for a secret show at the Belly Up, though from what I've heard, you shouldn't expect that he'll be playing. The Office goes a little bit country with Grande Ole Office, while Ultimate Painting, featuring Jack Cooper (of Mazes) and James Hoare (of Veronica Falls), rock out at the Soda Bar.
