ANDREW BIRD: This emotive balladeer's songs are just right for the open-to-the-night sky Greek Theatre. We're not simply making a play on his ornithological-sounding surname The occasional violin, folk-laden fancies, the sweet indie liltingness. It's a good match. 7:30PM
DANCE DOWNTOWN: The free-get-up-and-shimmy, every-other-Friday summertime series is juuust about halfway through, which fills us with a bit of melancholy; that means summertime is juuust about halfway through, too. One remedy: swing dancing to the Jumpin' Joz Band on Music Center Plaza. 6:30-10PM
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK: Danny, Donnie, the Knights, Joey. You know you know all the songs. You know the moves, still, by heart. The guys, obviously, are grown up, and suited up, and looking so stylish, but the moves are still there. You're probably going. Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, 7:30PM
