Eight Gigs: Rituals of Mine
Fri., May 5, 5 p.m., Cesar Chavez Park, no cover
It’s always a good time when Rituals of Mine, formerly known as Sister Crayon, performs in the duo’s hometown. It’s even better when thousands can attend the show for free. Yep, Concerts in the Park season has arrived, and it’s difficult to think of a more prime and badass act to headline opening night. No matter how much you might normally try to avoid Concerts in the Park, what with the crowds and the bros and long lines for beer, it will definitely be worthwhile for Rituals of Mine’s gorgeous, soulful and goosebumps-inducing electronica and always-powerful live performance. 910 I Street, www.ritualsofmine.com.
