Tonight local folk duo the Ditty Bops will be performing at the Steve Allen Theatre in Los Feliz. London-based experimental pop outfit Micachu & the Shapes are poised to headline the Echo with the tUnE-YaRdS in tow. And, lastly, classically-trained violinist-turned-singer-songwriter Christina Courtin (LAist Interview) will be gracing Largo at the Coronet. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch lead singer of Delta Spirit, Matt Vasquez. LAist favorites the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) are slated to kick things off.

Christina Courtin first captured attention as a Juilliard-trained violinist, playing everything from the classics to a piece that ends with a smashed violin. Yet all the while, she harbored a secret desire to sing, and as she branched out into this arena, she began building a fan base that started with fellow musicians and quickly grew. Courtin will be playing Largo at the Coronet on Tuesday night, and LAist spoke with her earlier this month to get the scoop on her new CD.
