A big Thursday as we head toward the holidays:

‣ After problems with the P.A. plagued Wednesday night’s show, Ryan Adams returns for a second night at the Wiltern. [Review of Night 1 forthcoming.]
‣ The “Where’s the Band Tour” brings a fivesome of rock frontmen to the Troubadour for solo acoustic performances – Dustin Kensrue of Thrice, Matt Pryor of the Get Up Kids, Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio, Casey Crescenzo of the Dear Hunter and Andy Jackson of Hot Rod Circuit. Above, Kenrue’s video for “It’s Not Enough,” from 2013’s “The Water & the Blood.”
‣ Genre-mashing rapper Jonwayne headlines the Echo – get there early for Floridian Chester Watson and Russ.
‣ It’s roots-rock goodness at El Cid, with Brian Whelan and Gun Hill Royals.
‣ And Phoenix’s Melt W/ Me (fka Black Carl) is joined by the Burning of Rome and Party Gardens at the Satellite
