Humphreys Concert Season
Now that you know San Diego is one of the most significant cities in the United States music industry, where stars like Jason Mraz and Jewel got their start, you’re probably wondering where you can experience this scene for yourself. While San Diegans are known to disagree on a few things, from the best craft beer to the best shopping neighborhood, when it comes to music venues, pretty much everyone will point you to Humphreys. April marks the return of concert season at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. Several shows are on sale now and the rest of the season will be announced on March 29th. Read on for more information and history of this San Diego summer tradition!
