San Diego Shows–Thursday, April 16
PLAN A: Ramblin’ Jack Elliott @ Acoustic Music San Diego. Seventy-seven-year-old folk singer Ramblin’ Jack is a musician’s musician whose songs influenced an entire generation of legendary songwriters (Dylan, Odetta, Jerry Garcia, etc.), and he’s on the road supporting his superb latest album, A Stranger Here. PLAN B: Black Lips, Flowers Forever, Nautical Disaster, Atoms @ The Casbah. Whether you like Black Lips’ drug-and-booze-fueled garage rock is practically irrelevant.

BACKUP PLAN: Sole, Awol One, Illuminauts, Artoo @ Kava Lounge. –Todd Kroviak
