Daily Email - Thursday - 5/22/2025

This email won’t fix your week, but it will give you a shot at free tickets to see Banks at SOMA on 6/9. Haunting beats, layered lyrics, and the kind of show that makes you text your ex “just wondering how you’ve been.” You’ve been warned. Enter now!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The duo behind hits like “West Coast Love” brings their R&B and funk-infused pop to SOMA on 10/7. Emotional Oranges has toured with artists like Channel Tres and built a loyal following without ever revealing their names. Mysterious? Sure. But the music speaks.

  • The Padres are trading the diamond for poolside hangs at Sycuan Casino Resort on 5/28. Join Joe Musgrove, the Swinging Friar, and the Pad Squad for an evening of themed drinks, good food, and pro photo ops.*

  • Mark Normand brings his Ya Don’t Say tour to The Observatory on 11/21 with two back-to-back sets of sharp, fast-talking stand-up. If you like your comedy neurotic, self-aware, and delivered at the speed of a New York minute, this one’s locked in.

  • Casbah’s stacking the lineup on 10/4 with Jason D. Williams, Supersuckers, and Wayne “The Train” Hancock. Rockabilly piano chaos, cowpunk swagger, and honky-tonk swing – all in one night.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Brad Williams, Ryan Sickler, Amir K, Mitchum Yacoub and The Brass Empire, Fly by Midnight, and more!
