Pop pick of the week

Tales from the Tavern – the Santa Ynez singer-songwriter series that has now outlasted the late, lamented Lobero trend-setter Sings Like Hell by almost seven years – has announced its schedule for spring, which begins February 12 with Steve Poltz, who, ironically, played Hell in the last series in 2018. All of the other series artists – David Wilcox, Michael on Fire, Rosie Flores, Kenny White & Cheryl Wheeler and legendary rock photog Henry Diltz – have also all previously played Tales dates at the Maverick Saloon (not to mention SOhO and the Lobero), making the already homey series even more warmly satisfying.
