Kelly Finnigan and The Atonements with Special Guest B-Side Brujas
From the event description:
After touring the world for over a decade with Monophoics, Bay Area-based singer and songwriter Kelly Finnigan will release his first solo album, 'The Tales People Tell' later in 2019. Raw and gritty, tender and emotive, lush and symphonic, the ten-song collection is Finnigan’s most complete work to date. With Finnigan guiding these songs from their conception all the way to the record pressing plant, the new release provides the singular voice missing from soul music. B-Side Brujas will open the show.
When: Saturday, May 11, 8 p.m.- Sunday, May 12, 1 a.m.
Where: Eli's Mile High Club, 3629 Martin Luther King Junior Way

Bells Atlas Record Release Party
From the event description:
On Saturday night, Starline Social Club hosts a record release party for Bells Atlas, the eclectic and colorful Oakland-based quartet whose best material fluidly synthesizes several genres at once. Trying to nail down the sound of Bells Atlas is a bit like narrating the inner workings of a kaleidoscope – where it's more about tripping out than nailing it down. Live performances from the guest of honor Bells Atlas, Sugar Candy Mountain and Salami Rose Joe Louis will round out the evening. Ages 21 and over only.
When: Saturday, May 11, 8 p.m.- Sunday, May 12, 1:30 a.m.
Where: Starline Social Club, 2236 Martin Luther King Junior Way
Admission: $15

Y La Bamba Concert with Special Guest Rituals of Mine
From the event description:
Y La Bamba has been many things, but at the heart of it is singer-songwriter Luz Elena Mendoza’s inquisitive sense of self. Their fifth record, "Mujeres," carries on the Portland-based band’s affinity for spiritual contemplation, but goes a step further in telling a story with a full emotional spectrum.
Rituals of Mine (FKA Sister Crayon) are a Los Angeles-based electronic/downtempo R&B act who make “gorgeously gloomy pop” (Noisey) that exudes unparalleled passion, emotion and personal lyrics into their music.
When: Sunday, May 12, 8-11 p.m.
Where: The New Parish, 1743 San Pablo Ave.
Admission: $14-$16
