Weekend Preview: Garrison Keillor, Gram Parsons, The Creepy Creeps

Tom Fudge: OK. You've never heard of Gram Parsons? Neither did I, to tell the truth, until yesterday. Maybe both of us should attend the Belly Up's Sin City Revue tonight. Because they'll be celebrating the music of the late '60s and '70s rocker, who's known for his associations with the Byrds and the Rolling Stones.

Sin City Revue II Celebrating the Music of Gram Parsons is tonight (Jan. 3) at 8 p.m. at the Belly Up .

The Creepy Creeps (pictured) perform this Saturday (Jan. 5) at the Casbah .

The Circle Jerks perform Saturday (Jan. 5) at 8 p.m. at the House of Blues .

Midnight Rocks at the Ken Cinema begins this Saturday (Jan. 5) at midnight with the movie 24 Hour Party People and the band The Fascination.

Garrison Keillor performs Monday Jan. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the San Diego Civic Theater .
