I saw a lot of great music last week, but the song I cannot get out of my head is the new single by Wheelwright, “3 Dots”. This is a craving, multiple times a day on repeat situation here. Give the tune a listen and join me!
Next week, I’m excited to check in with a few long-time favorites. Gavin DeGraw is making the rounds in LA and then I’m flying out east to see Biffy Clyro for the first time in 5 years. If you need your British rocker fix in LA, might I recommend Boston Manor at the Lodge Room Saturday night (I have a ticket up for grabs if you need one!).
