Eight Gigs: Joseph Kojima Gray’s 45th Birthday Bash

Sat. March 12, 9 p.m., Old Ironsides, $6

Local musician Joseph Kojima Gray has been in a lot of bands. Best known as the lead singer-guitarist for roots-rock band 50 Watt Heavy and as the bassist for outlaw-country band Danny Morris & the California Stars, he’s been in too many other bands to name. In celebration of his 45th birthday, four of his bands are playing on the same night, including two of Gray’s old bands: heavy alt-rockers the Regulars and Americana group the Regards. Buy Gray a beer. He’s going to get thirsty after four consecutive sets. 1901 10th Street, www.thecaliforniastars.com.
