If there's one thing I love more than music, it's free music! Musician Peter Case is coming to the Getty Center for a free show February 1, 2008 in support of his Grammy-nominated release Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John. The album, which came out August 7, is the illustrious singer/songwriter’s first album of all original material since 2002.

The show is free, but you must reserve tickets in advance. Starting January 22, you can reserve
your spot at the Getty Center ’s website: http://www.getty.edu/

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys are coming to town with two shows in February. If you're stuck on what to do for Valentine's Day, why not head over to the Bordello Bar in downtown Los Angeles for a little swoon and croon with Big Sandy? I can't think of anything more romantic!

And if that's not your style, they'll be playing at the Arcadia Blues Club on the 23rd.
