The fall concert calendar is filling up with sounds spanning decades and musical styles, so you'll have to make some decisions on where to spend your hard-earned dollars. Here are a few of the shows announced in recent days:
SILVERSUN PICKUPS
The bombastic Los Angeles-based guitar-rockers are winding up the tour in support of their fourth album,
Better Nature, but not before stopping at the Knitting Factory for a gig on Oct. 31. Minus The Bear joins them for the Halloween show.
Tickets are $29.50, and go on sale Friday at 10 am.
SARAH JAROSZ
An Americana ace whose most recent album,
Undercurrent, won this year's Grammy for Best Folk Album,
Sarah Jarosz is coming to the Bartlett for a show on Saturday, Sept. 30. Tickets are $25 and on sale now, and this is one of those "don't-miss" shows for anyone into folk, bluegrass or just damn fine songcraft.
