Tonight in L.A. (Saturday November 10, 2012)

Don't sleep on your local concert calendar tonight because there are quite a few gems in L.A.'s backyard.  

Mumford & Sons makes a trip to Hollywood Bowl for the first of two shows that help close out the season.  They are joined by Dawes and I have no doubts it will be spectacular.  Go a little south on Cahuenga and then head over to Vine if you want the turn up to get real as Wolfgang Gartner, Proxy and Popseka keep Avalon's dance floor saturated and sweaty.  Marc Broussard & Friends also play in Hollywood at The Hotel Cafe; if you're into musicianship - stopping in would not be a bad decision.





Local acts join forces tonight to create some L.A. power bills - including Saint Motel and Leftover Cuties at Saint Rocke and Warner Drive and Love And A .38 at The Roxy.  We have one pair of tickets to give away for Saint Motel so tweet out @supergoodmusic @saintrocke and @saintmotel if interested or holler at us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.





Hit + Run celebrates 7 years of t-shirt printing and parties at The Echoplex and Funky Sole gets a special visit from DJ Spinna upstairs at The Echo.

Glen Campbell Celebration at The Hollywood Bowl/Dawes at Bonnaroo

As you may or may not know, Country music legend Glen Campbell (Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, Country Music Hall of Fame) was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.   In honor of his legacy and brilliant music career, he will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl on June 24 for one final night of merry-making in Los Angeles with contemporaries and protégés alike.  Sharing the stage will be Jackson Browne, Kris Kristofferson, Jenny Lewis, Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Lucinda Williams and Dawes.

Dawes will open the first half of the show with some “special guests.”  I’m not sure how the guests could get much more special than the lineup already released, but chances are, the Hollywood Bowl audience is in for a real treat.

Dawes are incredible performers and musicians and are a wonderful choice to honor Mr. Campbell.  Their lyrics could be read as poetry and their harmonies melt souls.  I was honored to see brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith perform as an acoustic duo at a BMI event at Sundance.

The music was even more beautiful stripped down.  Their set at Coachella was equally enjoyable as the full band passionately and energetically shared their songs.

A highlight of that set was when they covered The Band’s The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down in honor of Levon Helm’s passing.   Dawes have a very clear strong connection with country/folk-rock music of the 60s and 70s and will undoubtedly do justice to the rich career of Glen Campbell.

If you will be attending Bonnaroo, be sure to check Dawes out on Friday, June 8 at 7:30pm at The Other Tent and Saturday, June 9 at 1:30pm at the Sonic Stage.
