Tonight's offerings bring something for everyone, from the radio friendly rock of Virginia's Carbon Leaf at the Belly Up to American Idol Jordin Sparks at the House of Blues. For anyone still tied to the mod scene of yore, there's some ska and rocksteady at the Casbah. Those interested in folk can find Irish duo of the Guggenheim Grotto in a yoga studio. On the local tip, Vegetarian Werewolf (aka John Paul Labno of the Hot Moon, Mr. Tube and Grand Ole Party) releases his solo venture at Tin Can while the whiskey-swilling rockers will feel at home with the Screamin' Yeehaws and Behind The Wagon over at Bar Pink.
