If you missed his December concert,

a successful soul career in the `70s he’s NC’s stellar answer to the hot soul
revival artists like Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley. With Lady.

Jamey Johnson
11 p.m. Friday, April 12, Coyote Joe’s, 4621 Wilkinson Blvd.
$20-$25. www.etix.com
While modern day Nashville is polished to rival the glitz
and glamour of Hollywood, this rugged ACM and CMA winner recalls the grittier
work of Waylon and Willie. In fact his latest album is a tribute collection to
late `60s and `70s country songwriter Hank Cochran.
Anthrax
6 p.m. Saturday, April 13, Tremont, 400 W. Tremont Ave.

The veteran thrash band continues its endless comeback
reunion with singer Joey Belladonna and its “Worship Muisic” album with a new
covers EP and a headlining slot on the Metal Alliance Tour. Shadows
Fall (whose Jon Donais is pulling double duty as Anthrax’s guitarist), Exodus,
Municipal Waste, and Holy Grail round out the bill.
Chappo/Dynasty
Electric

If you don’t fast forward through commercials you may have
heard these two NYC acts scoring ITunes or Victoria’s Secret commercials. The
former is a theatrical dance-rock foursome whose members have moonlighted in Of
Montreal. The latter is the latest incarnation of Seth Misterka’s electro-rock
duo (which played the Milestone as Dynasty way back in 2005).
Andrew McMahon/Kate Earl
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, Visulite, 1615 Elizabeth Ave.
$26.50-$28.50. www.visulite.com
Having ended his run with his band Jack’s Mannequin last fall, the leukemia
survivor frontman (also of Something Corporate) previews his upcoming solo
album (out April 30). Alaskan native Kate Earl opens with classic
Americana-laced pop.
Markus Schulz/The M Machine
10 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, Phoenix, 300 N. College St.
$15-$20/$25-$30 VIP. http://markusschulzcharlotte-facebook.eventbrite.com/
The acclaimed, top-ranking Miami-based German trance DJ
brings his Scream Tour to uptown with San Francisco electronic trio M Machine,
whose pulsating “M” and live vocals bridge sci-fi/fantasy, house music, and
gentle indie dance-rock.
The Whiskey
Gentry/The Brothers Comatose
8 p.m. Thursday, April 18, Evening Muse, 3227 N. Davidson
St. $8-$10. 704-376-3737.
There’s a soulful familiarity to these two family-based
bands - one with a husband and wife at its heart; the other a pair of San Francisco
brothers. Whiskey Gentry features classic country female vocals and a ripping
bluegrass band; the Brothers’ take is a fiery blend of harmonies and picking
that drifts between folk-rock and new grass.
