Breaking Laces
10:30 p.m. Friday, April 19, Evening Muse, 3227 N. Davidson
St. $10. 704-376-3737.
The rocking Brooklyn power-pop trio wears its personality
and sometimes humor on its guitar straps. With a nod to the huge rock hits of
the `90s the tracks on 2012’s “Come Get Some” could comfortably fit alongside
bands like Weezer and Better Than Ezra on alternative rock radio.
Boney James
7 p.m. Sunday, April 21, Knight Theater, 430 N. Tryon St.
$29.50-$48.50. www.blumenthalarts.org
Little over a week after the release of his new album, “The
Beat” (which flirts with Latin and urban influences), the Soul Train Award
winning jazz saxophonist returns with his R&B flavored take on smooth, yet
robust, jazz.
Lacuna Coil and Coal
Chamber with Sevendust
7 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, Fillmore, 1000 NC Music Factory
Blvd. $33. www.livenation.com
While headliner Sevendust plays Charlotte often, Italy’s
theatrical, female fronted Lacuna Coil and reunited nu-metal vets Coal Chamber
give this metal bill more immediacy. With Stolen Babies.
Youngblood Hawke
8 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, Visulite, 1615 Elizabeth Ave.
$12.50-$15. www.visulite.com
The L.A. dance-pop quintet whose founders scored a few UK
hits in its last band, Iglu & Hartley, stops in a week before releasing its
debut full-length, “Wake Up.” The follow-up album to its Top 10 alternative
single “We Come Running” is remarkably sunny and uplifting.
Bob Seger & the
Silver Bullet Band
7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25, Time Warner Cable Arena,
$74.75-$96.50. www.ticketmaster.com
The classic rock guru’s Rock and Roll Never Forgets Tour
features material from an unfinished upcoming album (including tracks by John
Hiatt and Billy Bragg and Wilco’s Woody Guthrie tribute) as well as his many
hits. Seger’s toying with the idea of retirement, so best to catch him now.
Marti Jones & Don
Dixon
8 p.m. Thursday, April 25, Evening Muse, 3227 N. Davidson
St. $15. www.eveningmuse.com
Having released their first duets record in 2011, these marrieds (who usually record as solo artists) return as a duo. Famed producer and Lancaster native Dixon’s NC roots
run deep. In addition to his production work with R.E.M. and the Smithereens,
he’s worked with Charlotte’s Fetchin’ Bones, Jim Brock, Babyshaker, and the
Spongetones.
Luna Arcade
8 p.m. Thursday, April 25, Visulite, 1615 Elizabeth Ave.
$10-$12. www.visulite.com
Chris Daughtry may be a mainstream star, but former Daughtry
band mate Joey Barnes shows off his own incredible vocals in this Greensboro
indie band that makes stunning, beautiful and soulful rock.
Jeanne Jolly
9 p.m. Thursday, April 25, Double Door, 1218 Charlottetown
Ave. $10. www.doubledoorinn.com
Though dubbed a country singer, there’s stylistically much
more to the Raleigh vocalist who gained prominence touring with jazz trumpeter
Chris Botti and sings with Little Brother founder Phonte’s group the Foreign
Exchange. Jolly celebrates the release of her solo album, “Angels,” with a trio
performance.
