29TH ANNUAL ADAMS AVENUE STRE E T FAIR MARIACHI/ALTERNATIVE


MARIACHI EL BRONX www.myspace.com/thebronx


Los Angeles based punk band The Bronx, aptly named after the left coast bor- ough, has for the last


six years redefined what punk means, sounds like, and doesn’t look like. After three self-titled full lengths, countless tours all over the world, more seven inches and eps than one can count, the band returns with their latest offering, yet another self titled full-length CD Mariachi El Bronx.


Sunday: 4:15pm, DiMille’s Stage ROCK/GARAGE


MATT CURRERI www.myspace.com/mattcurreri


You can always count on local indie-rocker Matt Curreri to deliver an energetic set of music rooted in the boom-chick-boom- chick of American folk music. Although his line-up has changed over the years, Matt has always found interesting


ensembles to help deliver his music. Matt’s most recent albums have garnered national praise as well as San Diego Music Awards nominations.


Saturday: 1:45pm, Rock Stage @ 33rd St. ALTERNATIVE/FOLK/ROCK


MOLLY JENSON www.myspace.com/mollyjenson


It all began when San Diego singer/songwriter/producer Greg Laswell offered to co- write and produce Jenson’s first record. In 2005 she released her debut album, Maybe Tomorrow, which received high critical acclaim, and was nominated for Best Pop Album at San Diego Music


Awards. Her songs, which are based on her own life, contain ingenuous lyrics that entail stories of love and loss, hardships, and better days.


Sunday: 2:15pm, Lestat’s Stage @ Felton St. R&B/DUB/GARAGE


MR. TUBE & THE FLYING OBJECTS www.myspace.com/mrtube


Sounds from the galactic junkyard. Sounds of horns that drift through the back alleys of our ghettos. Pulsing and


pumping sounds from the trunks for lowriders. Like sto- ries from the last living tree in this concrete jungle, sto- ries from the elders delivered by a new generation. Polish your wheels rub it out, through the sounds, souls, and hearts of the youth. Life is science fiction. Mr. Tube’s story must be told.


Saturday: 4:30pm, Rock Stage @ 33rd St. BLUES


NENA ANDERSON TRIO www.myspace.com/nenaanderson


Nena Anderson’s style could be described as Kay Starr on Valium or Rickie Lee Jones with diction. Her velvety contralto voice draws you in with its strength and vul- nerability. Her jazz, blues, country, and rock inflected melodies bring to mind P.J. Harvey and Chrissie Hynde as much as they do Billie


Holiday, yet they are completely her own unique sound. Simple guitar work, a radiant, likable stage presence, and memorable songs captivate so that you will never want to leave.


Saturday: 6:15pm, Blues Stage @ Hawley Blvd. BLUEGRASS


PLOW www.myspace.com/wereplow


Like any good Slumgullion stew, Plow borrows ingre- dients from Americana heritage music, adds its own spices, and puts the


whole pot on a rolling boil. The result is a simmering musical concoction that wafts through the air and con- nects the listener to America’s musical past and pres- ent. Plow is the result of four men finding common musical ground, then deciding to break new ground and bring their own personal and shared musical expres- sions to listeners.


Sunday: 11:30am, Roots Rock Stage @ 34th St. POP/ROCK

Saturday: 7:45pm, Blues Stage @ Hawley Blvd. ROOTS ROY RUIZ CLAYTON & THE NEW


ARMY OF RAGGED ANGELS www.myspace.com/royruizclayton


As a kid Roy Ruiz Clayton was influenced by stories of his grandfather Fredrico Garcia Ruiz, a relative of Pablo Picasso (Ruiz) and a legendary potter and painter in Spain. In addition to becoming a potter, Roy


developed his songwriting skills while traveling as Ramblin’ Jack Elliott’s guitarist. Translating his grandfa- ther’s journals is what brought Tom Waits to make this statement: “If someone asks me about this I might deny saying it, because I don’t want to hurt my other little songwriter friends, but Roy Ruiz Clayton is the greatest singer-songwriter and actually the greatest artist to ever live, and I mean ever!” Tom Waits.
