Live Music: Scott Altman posterNext up

Not a concert hall. Not a dive bar.

Whether you are planning a date night, meeting friends after work or searching for live music near Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos or Escondido, Misadventure gives you music with a real night out around it. Next on stage: Live Music: Scott Altman, Friday, October 9, 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM.
