If you happen to be in LA on 31 Jan (which isn't completely out of the question, is it?) then I'd be getting myself down to the city's Alex Theatre where you'll find a semi-acoustic benefit gig being staged to raise money for Wally Ingram, a drummer and percussionist who has worked with a string of artists over the years (most notably Timbuk 3, but also the likes of Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Los Lobos, and Tracy Chapman) who needs to fund ongoing cancer treatment. On the bill will be the aforementioned Rait plus Keb Mo, The Martinis (who count Pixies members Joey Santiago and David Lovering in their number) and Garbage, which should all make for a rather good night. Tickets are a bit pricey (starting at $65), but it is in a good cause, and should be a very fine night out. More info at http://www.alextheatre.org.
