Pop goes San Diego: The Residents, Buckethead, Yale Whiffenpoofs
Live music, January 15-18, 2016
That is one funky Eskimo.
The Residents
Upcoming Event
The Residents
- Thursday, January 15, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
After 45 years of myth, mystery, and anticipation, The Residents will perform their 1979 album Eskimo in a theatrical, immersive experience reimagined from the original master recordings. The concert unfolds as a surrealist ritual, featuring narration, characters, and staging designed to expand the mythology that has surrounded the album for nearly half a century. Originally released at the height of punk’s rise, Eskimo marked a radical departure, not just for The Residents, but for the landscape of experimental music. Eschewing lyrics and genre conventions in favor of fictional anthropology, the album constructs a surreal sonic universe inspired by imaginary Inuit rituals, frozen landscapes, and absurd cultural myths.
Buckethead
Upcoming Event
Buckethead
- Saturday, January 17, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Music Box, 1337 India Street, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+
Brian Patrick Carroll, more widely known as Buckethead, quickly became one of the most recognizable guitarists in the business due to wearing a white mask and Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on his head. The clownish looking persona belies a truly innovative guitarist, known for blending genres such as metal, funk, and ambient music. His complex style first earned widespread notice during his stint with a latter-day version of Guns N’ Roses, playing with the band from 2000 to 2004. On his own, he’s a prolific recording artist who has released over a hundred albums, often dropping them as part of his “Pike” series, as well as collaborating with other artists like virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist Lawson Rollins, Primus bassist Les Claypool (Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains), and funk icon Bootsy Collins (Science Faxtion).
Yale Whiffenpoofs
Upcoming Event
Yale Whiffenpoofs
- Sunday, January 18, 2026, 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- All Souls' Episcopal Church, 1475 Catalina Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: All ages / $17 - $53
The Yale Whiffenpoofs, America’s oldest collegiate a cappella group, are celebrated for their signature close-harmony sound and their wide-ranging repertoire spanning vocal jazz, folk, pop, and Broadway favorites. Each year, 14 senior Yale students are selected to be in the group. The ensemble performs for more than two hundred audiences annually across all six inhabited continents, bringing their distinctive blend of musicianship, humor, and charm to listeners around the world. Over the years, they have performed for U.S. Presidents Obama, Bush (41 and 43), Clinton, and Reagan, and have taken the stage at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center. This Point Loma concert will also feature two San Diego natives, Benjamin Jimenez, and Joseph Aguilar.
