Tonight 17-year-old Australian singer-songwriter sensation Gabriella Cilmi will be performing at the Hotel Café.

And, to complete the triumvirate, local alt-country outfit Olin & the Moon (LAist Interview) are poised to rock the Silver Lake Lounge.

Born the son of a professional guitarist who played with Bo Diddley, Rocco Deluca had blues in his soul since he was a boy.
