CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat. April 18
Sweetwater 420 Fest, Shirley Clark Fountain Park - As its name implies, the beer and weed will be flowing freely but that's just one of the aspects of this annual music and sensory-enhancing bash, now in its 20-somethingth year. The bands have always been impressive, heavy on jam, roots and the danceable aspects resulting from getting a buzz on with a few thousand friends and letting go. Saturday is headlined by the popular world music, trip-hop and acid jazz electronics of Thievery Corporation. Chromeo's glitzy, retro '80s synth pop/disco is one of the openers as is the not-to-be-missed Americana blues/folk rocking of UKs The Heavy Heavy. - Hal Horowitz
