Pop goes San Diego: Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, Allen Stone and Ripe, Alice Cooper and Judas Priest
Live Music, October 16-18, 2025
Nick the Lounge Singer in his younger days
Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers
Upcoming Event
Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers
- Thursday, October 16, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Saturday Night Live vet Bill Murray has been showing off his singing chops ever since playing lounge singer Nick Valentine on that program, where he made late night TV history with hilarious arrangements of unlikely song selections that frequently included his own “custom” lyrics. Earlier this year, Murray put together a backing band in order to tour a mostly classic rock set filled with his usual trademark unpredictable surprises. The group features nine-time Blues Music Award winner Mike Zito on guitar and fellow guitarist and five-time Blues Music Award winner Albert Castiglia, with bandleader Jimmy Vivino, who led the house band on Conan O’Brien’s TV show, along with the Bender Brass horn section. Reports from the tour so far have found the band covering tracks such as “Tired Of Waiting For You” (the Kinks), “Little Red Corvette” (Prince), “Catch Us If You Can” (Dave Clark Five), and Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.”
Allen Stone and Ripe
Upcoming Event
Allen Stone and Ripe
- Friday, October 17, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Soul and R&B artist Allen Stone is a Washington native who cites among his influences Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. He first earned widespread notice in 2011 with the astonishingly high note hit in his YouTube performance of his song “Unaware,” billed as being shot in his mother's living room. His major label debut dropped in 2015, propelling him quickly to a level of fame that earned him an invitation from American Idol to appear as a mentor and guest performer in 2018 and 2023, performing duets with contestants and giving advice to the aspiring singers. Opening band Ripe specializes in funk, pop, rock, and soul music with infectious grooves, horn-driven melodies, and lengthy improvisational jams.
Alice Cooper and Judas Priest
Upcoming Event
Alice Cooper and Judas Priest
- Saturday, October 18, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista
- Age Limit: Not available
Only around two dozen cities in the U.S. and Canada will get a chance to see the double-headliner tour pairing shock rock innovator Alice Cooper with heavy metal icons Judas Priest. Cooper transitioned from a bandleader to an iconic solo career, adopting the band's name as his own while also taking on acting roles, a long-running radio show, and advocacy for fellow musicians in addiction recovery. Judas Priest can be thanked for the leather-and-studs aesthetic that became synonymous with metal, as well as for pioneering the twin lead guitar sound and operatic vocal style that influenced countless bands. The bill includes guitarist Woody Weatherman’s current version of Corrosion Of Conformity, who went from hardcore punk and stoner metal to mainstream popularity in the '90s with more Sabbath-inspired albums like Blind (1991) and Deliverance (1994).
