Last Friday we celebrated the release of Dear Boy’s debut album, Forever Sometimes, a feat 10 years in the making for one of my favorite LA bands. The band’s next local show will be end of October (appropriate given the band’s affinity for Halloween) giving us all plenty of time to listen on repeat before the live festivities.
Next week, we’ve got can’t miss shows from the likes of Six60 and one of my top 2022 discoveries, Wild Rivers. I will largely be missing out as I turn my extra-curricular focus to the game of baseball while my team (the St. Louis Cardinals) are on the west coast for a string of 6 games. I anticipate some historic happenings and don’t want to miss out!
