Wil Campa this Weekend
Tiempo LIbre played with the San Francisco Symphony Sunday in historic and picturesque Dolores Park. Surprisingly, their kilted killer bassist Tony "Tebelio" Fonte was replaced by Wilbur "Wilvi" Rodríguez (ex-Carlos Manuel, Ntaya). We're trying to find out if the change is permanent or temporary. Click here for the rest of Tom's photos.
Wil Campa y su Gran Unión at Yoshi's SF Friday and Saturday.

More on these shows soon.
Coming very soon: Peter Maiden's gallery/concert report on the recent Escovedo family reunion concert.

It's already over 200 pages with a long historical listening tour, so this should be a good one for people who don't play an instrument but want to get deeper into scene. [Kevin Moore]
