Hey kids! The weekend comes to an end with some great shows. If you’ve never seen Meshell Ndegeocello perform live then do not miss out on the opportunity to do so at The Key Club.  If you’re in the mood for a sillier, more lighthearted show, Weird Al Yankovik is gracing the Ventura Theatre with his strange  and oh, so catchy remakes of pop songs.  My top pick for the evening, however, would have to be Fleet Foxes.  Their sound is the perfect combination of earthy folk and ethereal harmony.  Whatever you decide, you should definitely end the weekend musically with one of the following shows:
