Have a fantastic Friday:
‣ Yann Tiersen headlines the Fonda Theatre behind his new album “∞ (Infinity),” with L.A. sextet NO opening.
‣ They’re calling it “Soulshine” – Michael Franti & Spearhead just launched a tour that combines music and yoga. Following afternoon yoga sessions, Franti headlines the Greek Theatre, supported by reggae septet SOJA and singer-songwriters Brett Dennen and Trevor Hall.
‣ Free and under the stars: Grammy-winning African singer Angélique Kidjo holds forth at Grand Performances at California Plaza downtown.
‣ Jessica Lea Mayfield rocks the Roxy Theatre behind her new album “Make My Head Sing,” her third, with Israel Nash and George Ellias supporting. That’s her video for “I Wanna Love You,” above.
‣ Veteran roots rocker Rodney Crowell hits the Troubadour behind his latest albu “Tarpaper Sky,” with Will Kimbrough and Jedd Hughes opening.
‣ New York quartet Anamanaguchi brings its electronic rock to the El Rey Theatre, where HEARTSREVOLUTION opens.
