*Saturday January 23*,* 2010* the bluegrass band *Lonesome Traveler* will perform on the LAFTA stage,at 7:30 pm on the third floor in the 7th street loft located at 7th and K streets. Lonesome Traveler is a six-piece acoustic band from Colorado's front range with a bluegrass driver's license, a certificate of songwriting, and a sheriff's badge of cool.
