Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/1-5/7

We’ve got music for all sorts of moods this week. Need to rock? Check out Enter Shikari, Plague Vendor or Holy Wars (opening for The Warning). Need to cry? It’s Lewis Capaldi vs Howie Day Wednesday night. Craving that Americana groove? There is a fest for that (Americana West Music Festival). And if you want your big name, familiar bands, there’s a fest for that too (Redondo Beach Festival)!
