Casbah Announces Anniversary Shows (and then some)

I am so excited for January 2014. The Casbah will be celebrating 25 years of bringing live music to San Diego. I remember being in high school when it opened and just drooling over the bands who were performing there, and when I finally got into a show, it was to see the amazing Whiskeytown and I was in love with the place. Fast forward 25 years, and I've been to hundreds of shows at the Casbah and other venues where the Casbah has presented shows over the years. The anniversary month is also special to me because Tim Mays hired me back when we were celebrating the 20th anniversary 5 years ago, and I certainly feel lucky every time I walk through the doors. There will be a ton of special shows in January, a limited edition t-shirt designed by Shepard Fairey, and thanks to Todd Gloria's office, January 7, 2014 will be declared Casbah Day in the city of San Diego during the City Council meeting. Below is the first batch of anniversary shows being announced, as well as other shows that have been announced over the past few weeks. Tickets are onsale now unless otherwise noted.
