Creedence Clearwater Revival’s music keeps on rolling

Creedence Clearwater Revival broke up back in 1972, but that hasn’t stopped them from posthumously remaining one of music’s most popular classic rock bands. While there is no chance of seeing the original quartet in action, the next best thing, Revisiting Creedence, will perform at Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay on July 10. Led by Dan McGuinness (lead vocals) and Kurt Griffey (lead guitar), two musicians who performed with original CCR members Stu Cook (bass) and Doug Clifford (drums), attendees will be treated to a show sure to include all of Creedence’s biggest hits, including “Born on the Bayou,” “Down On The Corner,” and “Proud Mary.

Revisiting Creedence: Friday, July 10 at Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Dr., Shelter Island. 7:30 p.m. $59.

Punk-rock pioneers, The Executives, hit up the Tower Bar

Pioneering San Diego punk band, The Executives, plays at the Tower Bar on July 10. Formed in 1978, The Executives only released one EP during their initial run, 1978’s “Jetset,” but their influence has been huge, with a legion of bands following in their wake, and original copies of said recordings now worth around $500. Although it’s been five decades since the then-teen band started playing local stages with their angular, spiky tunes, The Executives still deliver an energetic show well worth catching for punk fans of all stripes. Oakland combo, the Street Eaters, and locals, Hooch open the proceedings.

The Executives: Friday, July 10 at The Tower Bar, 4757 University Avenue, 8 p.m.

Jazz saxophonist Charles McPherson plays Lou Lou’s

Saxophonist, Charles McPherson stops in at Lou Lou’s on July 10 for two shows. He’s released more than two dozen acclaimed albums to date, most recently 2024’s “Reverence,” but he’s also well respected for his work with a long list of musical luminaries in his storied career. Highlights include albums with the likes of trumpeter Art Farmer and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, as well as time spent as a sideman with Charles Mingus across 16 albums. Anyone who appreciates jazz will enjoy these intimate concert performances from a jazz legend.

One of those nights with Eagles cover bang, The Long Run

Eagles fans won’t want to miss an appearance from tribute band, The Long Run, on July 10, as part of the annual Summer Concert Series at Point Loma Park. The band does a great job of reproducing the Eagles’ signature country-rock sound, with excellent twin guitar work and vocal harmonies. The “Eagles Greatest Hits” is the biggest-selling album of all-time, currently sitting at 40 million copies sold, so the Long Run’s set is basically one crowd pleaser after another, including the likes of “Hotel California,” One of These Nights,” and “New Kid In Town,” plus a handful of the various band members’ solo hits.

The Long Run: Friday, July 10 at Point Loma Park, 1049 Catalina Blvd. 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Free.

A special tribute to a special person. Michael Oletta

On July 11, Dizzy’s will host a special tribute to photographer and jazz bassist Michael Oletta, who passed away earlier this year. Oletta was known to local jazz listeners as the founder of The Now Time Quartet, also featuring pianist Adam Wolff, violinist Alicia Previn, and drummer Jeff Dalrymple, but it’s with his camera that he made his greatest impact. In 2021, he released a book, “Jazz In The Moment,” collecting images from his 40 years of attending concerts, a wonderful showcase for the gifted photographer. While there is no music planned at this event, there will be a display of Oletta’s photos, and numerous music luminaries will be on hand offering remembrances. This is a nice opportunity to say goodbye to one of San Diego’s biggest jazz supporters.

Remembering Michael Oletta: Saturday, July 11 at Dizzy’s at Arias Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd. 2 p.m. 

Definitely…not Maybe

More and more venues are offering daytime rock ‘n’ roll shows, including The Holding Company, who feature Orange County-based Oasis tribute band, Live Forever, on July 11.

Just beat it at the Belly Up

On July 11, The Belly Up Tavern will be the site of the 15th Annual Hootenanny featuring The Beat Farmers and Friends. Founded in 1983, headliners The Beat Farmers are one of the finest bands to ever call San Diego home, with a brand of barroom rock ‘n’ roll that is still as potent as ever. Anyone who has seen their recent shows can attest to the fact that, after more than four decades on the road, frontmen and guitarists Jerry Raney and Joey Harris are at the peak of their powers. This year’s musical friends include Sara Petite and Evans Kontopuls, with the evening rounded out by a bonus set from Harris and his band, the Mentals.
