Belly Up presents Cracker Genre: rock Ages 21+ Only Ticket Price: $25 advanced / $28 day of show / $44 reserved loft seating (available over the phone or in person at out box office) Cracker‘s tenth studio effort, the double-album entitled "Berkeley To Bakersfield," finds this uniquely American band traversing two different sides of the California landscape – the northern Bay area and further down-state in Bakersfield. Cracker has been described as a lot of things over the years: alt-rock, Americana, insurgent-country, and have even had the terms punk and classic-rock thrown at them. But more than anything Cracker are survivors. Cofounders Lowery and Hickman have been at it for almost a quarter of a century – amassing ten studio albums, multiple gold records, thousands of live performances, hit songs that are still in current radio rotation around the globe (“Low,” “Euro-Trash Girl,” “Get Off This” and “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me” to name just a few), and a worldwide fan base – that despite the major sea-changes within the music industry – continues to grow each year.

La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest returns to The Conrad, expanded to four glorious weeks! Music Director Inon Barnatan has created an ambitious program, evocatively titled “Under the Influence,” exploring the muses that seduced and inspired some of the greatest composers in musical history. During the Festival, we’ll hear the magnetic effect of Wagner and J.S. Bach on their peers, travel to the salons of Paris, and experience the sins and merry pranks of Kurt Weill and Strauss. We’ll spend a genre-defying and unique week with opera stars, dancers, and jazz luminaries, and go further under the influence in a new intermission-free Wednesday series that welcomes audiences into the worlds of Shakespeare, Vivaldi, and more followed by a social and culinary experience in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd. Garrick Ohlsson, Augustin Hadelich, Liza Ferschtman, Marc-André Hamelin, Caroline Shaw, Carter Brey, Joyce Yang, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Cécile McLorin Salvant, the Dover and Miró Quartets, and many more astounding artists will join us in La Jolla for a Festival you won’t want to miss!
