JD McPherson - SOCKS: A Rock N' Roll Christmas Tour w/ Melissa Carper
Most Christmas records are covers of covers. The good ones sound like somebody actually had a December worth writing about.
JD McPherson made one of the good ones in 2018: SOCKS, eleven original Christmas songs played as greasy, stomping rock and roll, a record that makes a holiday party sound like a sock hop in a snowstorm. This is the fifth annual tour of it, which means the people up front have favorites and will yell for them by name. Melissa Carper opens, a singer who plays bass and slides between country, jazz and soul like the borders were never real.
A standing floor, a seated loft upstairs, and a Thursday in December when most of the county is still pretending the holidays are not here yet.
Thursday, December 10. Doors 7 p.m., show 8 p.m., 21+. Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave, Solana Beach. $30 advance. Bring the friend who refuses holiday music on principle; this record was made for them, and they will ask what else you have been hiding.
