✔️ Reverend Horton Heat Holiday Show w/Junior Brown/The Blasters/Big Sandy In about a week, a bunch of God-fearing Christians will celebrate the birth of Jesus. Well, on Wednesday, disciples of psychobilly will pay homage to that genre’s living lord when Jim Heath (aka Reverend Horton Heat) brings his own gloriously trashy, sometimes thrashy retro rock and roll to Jannus for a holiday show alongside 65-year-old guitar slinger Junior Brown.

Boards Bands Brews w/Have Gun, Will Travel/Keegan Ritz/Sunsetters/Tribal Style It's not often you get to see two longtime CL favorites — in this case it's Americana dreamboats Have Gun, Will Travel and Long Beach originating roots reggae outfit Tribal Style — on the same bill. This show is a special occasion, however, as it is a charity event benefiting Boards For Bros, so get in the spirit by bringing a slightly used or new skateboard (or a new, unwrapped boys or girls tour for a homeless empowerment program).
