Los Angeles, CA (July 25, 2013) - The 29th Annual Twilight Concert Series has brought out massive crowds in its first two weeks, and will continue the season-long festival tonight, July 25th at 7pm.  The third week will continue the "quintessential LA music experience," (Time Out LA), which the LA Times says, "promise to mix indie sounds with the sea."
