Garbage @ The Fillmore | Saturday, July 30
On-again/off-again alt rock band Garbage is touring in support of a new album, Strange Little Birds. I think all of their songs sound a little bit alike, but that might just be because Shirley Manson’s voice is distinctive.
Heart, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and Cheap Trick @ BB&T Pavilion | Sunday, July 31
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers visit Camden on their Rock Hall Three for All Tour.
