SUMMARY:Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Music of Warren Zevon
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 20 years since the world lost one of its most gifted\, respected\, and haunted musicians. Warren Zevon bravely battled a rare form of cancer\, writing\, recording\, and performing his music\, right up to the last day of his ‘Dirty Life and Times’.\nA generational songwriter\, revered by industry peers\, Warren enjoyed a cult following with limited commercial success. His huge mainstream hits\, Werewolves of London and Lawyers\, Guns & Money\, are a small sample of a vast catalog of music that has been recorded by Linda Ronstadt\, the Turtles\, Jackson Browne\, Bruce Springsteen\, Jerry Garcia and the evenings host\, Pat Guadagno.\nPat’s recording of Zevon’s Don’t Let Us Get Sick became an international classic when it was featured in Showtime’s award-winning series\, CALIFORNICATION.\nTo honor and celebrate the music of Warren Zevon\, Guadagno has assembled an All-Star cast that includes Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer Vini Lopez\, Award winning singer-songwriter-activist Arlan Feiles and RCA recording artist Jake Thistle.\nAnyone who has been to one of Guadagno’s musical celebrations\, BobFest (Bob Dylan)\, A Marvelous Night (Van Morrison)\, or Heart of Saturday Night (Tom Waits) Souvenirs (John Prine)\, Leonard Cohen (Hallelujah) knows to expect a passionate\, reverent delivery of the music of Warren Zevon\, Mr. Bad Example.

SUMMARY:Descendents
DESCRIPTION:Since first emerging from (and defining) the Southern California pop-punk scene in 1978\, the legendary Descendents have released classic after classic\, from their landmark 1982 LP Milo Goes to College to 2016’s Hypercaffium Spazzinate. Now\, after issuing a flurry of singles to get fans through the past few years\, the band — Milo Aukerman (vocals)\, Bill Stevenson (drums)\, Stephen Egerton (guitar)\, and Karl Alvarez (bass) — will be touring in support of a new album. With a very cool twist.\nWhat started with Milo Goes to College now comes full circle on the blistering 9th & Walnut (Epitaph)\, a “lost album” quietly recorded in 2002 by the MGTC lineup of Stevenson\, Aukerman\, Tony Lombardo on bass\, and Frank Navetta (d. 2008) on guitar. Audiences should be geared up for shows featuring songs spanning Descendents’ incredible career\, from “Suburban Home” and “Silly Girl” to “I’m the One” and “Without Love\,” and including 9th & Walnut tracks like first single “Baby Doncha Know” and its incendiary follow-up\, “Nightage.”
