Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/30-10/6
We have made it to my second favorite month of the year – Rocktober! Honestly, the first week of this historically music heavy/heavy music month is a bit on the folks-y side but it’s been a weird year all around so I’ll take it! Glen Hansard, Nickel Creek, Field Guide, and Carbon Leaf are among my top picks. If you feel the need to start the month off with a more traditional head banging affair, we do have House of Protection and Emarosa as well as well as final shows from Sum 41, NOFX, and an anniversary celebration with Korn, Evanescence, and more!
