Live Music Calendar

Tuesday
We can’t think of a better way to start off your concert week than with the hardest working man in show business, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. Now in his seventies, he still has the energy that will leave you feeling … well, you know.
8 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Theater | tickets and info

Wednesday
Beautiful female vocals are on tap tonight at Super Happy Fun Land. Seekonk hails from Maine, and at first listen, their atmospheric sound will remind you of Mazzy Star. Houston’s Duck Duck Goose Band is also playing – Elaine Greer’s sweet innocent voice will have you shopping for puppies.
Music: “Tiny Lustre” (Seekonk)
8 p.m. at Super Happy Fun Land | info

Thursday
Austin’s I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness have been making headway outside the state lately. Their updated 80’s sound is darker than The Killers, but just as catchy. If you can’t catch tonight’s show, take a road trip to Marfa to see them live next week. Any excuse is a good excuse to go to Marfa.
Music: “Long Walk”
8 p.m. at Walter’s on Washington | info

Friday
With a song on an O.C. soundtrack and ravings from critics everywhere, former Frou Frou vocalist Imogen Heap is slowly gaining stardom. Pitchfork said it best: “Imogen Heap nervously flits between these two poles, envisioning a world where Sarah McLachlan, Shirley Manson, and Björk do each other's hair and sing into hairbrushes.”
Video: “Goodnight and Go”
8 p.m. at Warehouse Live | tickets and info

Saturday
Singer/songwriter Slaid Cleaves is originally from the northeast, but you can’t tell by his music. He’s pure Americana. The once Kerville Folk Festival champion is touring behind his upcoming album Unsung.
7:30 & 10 p.m. at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck | info
