Tonight in L.A.: Jack’s Mannequin, Ferraby Lionheart

0

Songwriter Ferraby Lionheart departed L.A. for Nashville to work on his sophomore album, “The Jack of Hearts,” which is due this spring. A handful of L.A. shows late last year revealed his new batch of vintage Americana to be downright gorgeous, and those songs will get a workout when he kicks off a Tuesday residency at the Bootleg Theater. The Living Sisters, Willoughby and Paige Stark support. … Jack’s Mannequin appears at the Viper Room in a warm-up gig for its upcoming tour. … Also: Tenacious D, Frank Black, James Mercer and others at a big Haiti benefit at the Wiltern; Wale, supported by Audible Mainframe, at the Roxy; the first of three consecutive Tuesdays with Mia Doi Todd at Spaceland;  the Nervous Wreckords and the Lost Chorus at Bordello; Manhattan Murder Mystery and Seasons at the Echo; Roll the Tanks at the Silverlake Lounge; and Frank Turner at the Hotel Cafe.
