Tonight's a hodgepodge of music from jazz to classical to rock en Español and more. Probably the biggest show of the night will be Enanitos Verdes and Hombres G at Viejas. The veteran rockers have earned their fans with every record and every tour, pounding the pavement internationally, and it's all paid off with the adoring fans that turn up tour after tour. Another big one tonight is legend Patty Griffin, whose Belly Up show has been sold out for months. Around town, Together Pangea play an all ages show at the Irenic, our friends Taken by Canadians headline a solid local lineup at Casbah and Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Jazzmeia Horn makes a double appearance at the Conrad.
