Fog City Singers — 'Colors'
From the event description:
The Fog City Singers — a 40-voice men’s vocal ensemble in San Francisco — present "Colors," our 2019 summer concert, featuring our new women’s ensemble, Harmonia! Having tackled the theme of "light" this past spring, we're refracting our focus this summer into the prismatic world of "color songs," with each piece relating to the mood or symbolism of at least one color. The freedom of blue skies, the playfulness of brown and yellow baskets, the passion of the red rose, the complexity of race relations — we'll explore all these and more through a color-focused selection of barbershop, choral and contemporary a cappella works.
When: Thursday, Aug. 1, 8-9:30 p.m.
Where: St. Mark's Church, 1111 O'Farrell St.
Price: $10 student; $20 general admission

The Alarm, Modern English and Jay Aston's Gene Loves Jezebel: 'SIGMA XLLLV'
From the event description:
Welsh rockers The Alarm executed one of the biggest pranks in music history in 2004, when this group of '80s mainstays posed as a fictitious teen band to release the single "45 RPM," which wound up being one of their biggest hits in 20 years. But don't worry — we promise it really is The Alarm coming to The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for this show with Modern English.
When: Friday, Aug. 2, 8 p.m.
Where: The Regency Ballroom, 1300 Van Ness Ave.
