So many good shows this week, that we don’t have enough space to highlight all of them. Tonight, our pick is the pure pop sounds of Office tonight at The Mink (congratulations to Cynthia for winning tickets through us!). Singer/songwriter fans will have a touch choice Thursday night – Ryan Adams makes a rare Houston appearance at Verizon Wireless and former Toad the Wet Sprocket front man Glen Phillips plays two shows at the Mucky Duck. Several different music events are on tap for Saturday: The Wave Day fest in The Woodlands; great local bands at the Hometown Showdown at Warehouse Live; more local artists at the Unusual Animals event at DiverseWorks; and, for the metal-heads, FallCore festival at the Meridian.
