Welcome to the latest TV or Not TV newsletter spotlighting live music and dance performances all around Southern California this coming week. I’m Matt Cooper, former listings coordinator for the LA Times’ Calendar section.
A NOTE TO READERS:
The Theatre and Music & Dance roundups now cover Monday through the following Monday, instead of Sunday to the following Sunday as they did previously. This streamlines the newsletters and tidies up a few issues with how to list openings and performances that span any given weekend. The two newsletters will continue to go out on Saturdays.
