So the Grammys are over and done (a big wow for Arcade Fire’s victory and congrats to other fave winners like the Black Keys, Lady A, Miranda Lambert, Marty Stuart and Mavis Staples) but the music doesn’t end.
Monday night Jenny O’s Bootleg residency continues with Henry Wolfe and Leslie Stevens (of “and the Badgers”) filling out a fine bill.
I don’t know if there has a been a packed Tuesday as the 15th has to offer. Greg Dulli’s current project The Twilight Singers stop by Amoeba for a free show.
Frank Fairfield brings his old-timey sounds to the Coffee Gallery Backstage, while the Satellite welcomes the Canadian band, Mother Mother.
Two of my favorite Nashville singer-songwriters Todd Snider and Elizabeth Cook take over the El Rey for a rip-roaring time of tales and tunes.
Susan James celebrates her long-overdue (and quite fine) CD Highways, Ghosts, Hearts and Home at the Echo Lounge. Plenty of her pals will be there, including Old Californio, Evie Sands, Tony Gilkyson and Kip Broadman.
More terrific acts will be at the Hotel Café where the awesome all-female group Mountain Man takes a day off from opening for the Decemberists and the alluring Haroula Rose will be playing there again too.
The 16th finds the Generationals at the Hotel Café and Nicole Atkins at the Troubadour, while Lucero delivers their wonderfully raucous garage rock to the Echo on the 17th.
The Hotel Café is busy on Friday with sets from Tom Freund, Cowboys and Indians and My Morning Jacket’s Carl Broemel. Scott H. Biram brings his “dirty old one man band” to the Redwood on the 18th while Cake commences its string of sold out shows at the Troubadour on Friday.
The lovely Living Sisters be appearing at the Broad Stage, while the multi-talented David Lindley will be spending the weekend at McCabe’s.
Sunday finds Ted Leo at Eagle Rock’s Center for the Arts and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen stopping by the Coffee Gallery Backstage.
The Gang of Four has a new album, Content, and shows on Sunday at Anaheim House of Blues and Monday at the Music Box on the 21st. Also on Monday, Austin superstar Bob Schneider comes to the Hotel Café with Joe Firstman & Marianne Keith also on the bill.

Go See Hear in L.A.: June 28-July 4
June turns into July this week; the Summer just keep motoring along.
Here are the shows that stand out for this week that leads up to July 4th.
Frank Fairfield (www.myspace.com/frankfairfield) cultivates an intriguing old-school country sound. He has gig at the Redwood Bar and Grill Monday Night coincides with the release of the first release on Fairfield’s label Pawn Records. Unheard Ofs & Forgotten Abouts draws upon “vernacular music” from around the world and reveals his love for 78 rpm records.
Sloan (www.myspace.com/sloan) swings down from the Great White North for the concert at the House of Blues on July 1 – which is appropriately enough Canada Day. While Sloan’s a huge group in their native land, Sloan is known more here mainly by power pop aficionados and there is much to love in the melodic music that they have creating for nearly two decades now.
On July 2-3, Free Energy (www.myspace.com/freeenergymusic) will be lighting things up at the Echoplex. This Philly band offers a fantastic blast of ‘70s riff-happy rock that makes for a great soundtrack for the summer. Their disc Stuck On Nothing is nothing but fun, good-timin’ rock ‘n’ roll and stands as one of the top debuts of 2010. Also on the bill is the hooky pop-rock duo Mates of State and musician/comedian Nick Thune.
The annual Hootenanny (www.myspace.com/hootenanny) down at Irvine’s Oak Canyon Ranch offers some All-American rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Famers topping the bill: Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, with the Old 97’s and Shooter Jennings also notable acts on this day long, pre-Independence Day festival.
