Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe arrived in San Francisco for a two night run at the Independent (one of three venues, the Boom Boom Room and the Fillmore are the other two) less than a 15-minute walk from my apartment in Lower Pacific Heights, so my girlfriend and I were eager to see a show so close by without having to worry about buzzed driving and finding a parking space. One of the primary reasons we moved to San Francisco was to soak up the juicy music scene — especially shows within walking distance from our couch. Last weekend we caught Denver’s own Juno What at the Boom Boom Room, and this weekend we were pumped to catch a special performance from Karl Denson.
