It’s been an intense couple of weeks from Riot Fest in Chicago and now heading to Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings in Anaheim (with some San Diego-based baseball in between). I finally managed to get to the new Bellwether venue downtown, twice last week including for the grand return of Nico Vega! My big Bellwether tip is to get there early if you don’t want to pay for parking. They will let a limited number of folks into the restaurant 30 minutes before doors where you can sit and relax before being let into the venue a few minutes early. My other tip is to get to the Lodge Room website and grab a ticket for the next Nico Vega show, a headline event December 6^th!

We’ve got more great music next week as we dip our toes into one of the busiest months for live music. Don’t miss Matt Maeson, Patrick Droney, Lauren Mayberry (of CHVRCHES), and more:
