1. You Won’t
Date: November 5th
Place: Le Divan Orange
Genre: They have yet to really classify themselves, but they've shared a stage with The Lumineers, The Joy Formidable, and Josh Ritter just to name a few.
Why you're going to the show: They have a reputation for very dynamic and unorthodox shows that have not only gotten them opening spots with the big names mentioned above, but kudos from SPIN, NPR, and The New York Times.

Date: November 5th
Place: Virgin Mobile Corona Theatre

Why you're going to the show: This girl may be known as a rising pop star with great hair, but she's also got a voice that somehow mixes Whitney Houston, Sade, and British electronic music. And it works!

Why you're going to the show: If you're like me, half the reason is because you used to scream the lyrics to Dashboard Confessional in the shower as a teenager, and you're really excited Chris Carraba is back with something new.
