Tobias Jesso, Jr. @ Empty Bottle
Tobias Jesso, Jr. doesn't make it easy on himself by making music that's so easily compared to behemoths like Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson and Emitt Rhodes. But even with such high expectations based on similarity, he doesn't disappoint with his brilliant pop music. Tobias Jesso, Jr. headlines the Empty Bottle. The show's $15 in advance, $17 at the door, 21+ and starts at 9PM. The Empty Bottle's at 1035 N. Western.
