DEVO never played it straight, not once in forty-five years, and they're not about to start. Humphreys by the Bay on April 15 — one of San Diego's most beloved outdoor venues, right on Shelter Island, with the harbor behind the stage and a crowd that remembers when Whip It was a revelation. The Mutate Don't Stagnate tour is exactly what it sounds like: a band that refuses to become a museum piece, playing the catalog that earned them that right.

Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…
Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Dr, San Diego. July 12th. Michael McDonald at Humphreys — which is the specific combination of artist, venue, and summer evening that makes Shelter Island the best outdoor concert experience in San Diego.
Humphreys is 1,400 seats and a waterfront. The audience sits ten feet from the bay. The stage is positioned so the sound carries toward the water and the water reflects back a warmth that no inland venue produces. On a July night, with McDonald's voice — one of the most distinctive instruments in popular music — filling that air, the experience is not a concert so much as a specific version of a San Diego summer evening made complete.
"What a Fool Believes." "Takin' It to the Streets." "I Keep Forgettin'." The Doobie Brothers catalog alongside the solo work and the Steely Dan recordings — all of it live, waterside, at 1,400 seats. humphreysconcerts.com for availability. The reserved seating at Humphreys is close enough to matter. July 12th. Be there.
