R-E-S-P-E-C-T<\/h3>\n

Saturday, July 28, Majestic Theatre<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Ostensibly named after a song by timeless kween Aretha Franklin, R-E-S-P-E-C-T is a celebration of badass women throughout music history, as performed by a host of local musicians. This year\u2019s lineup will include Liz Fleig as Adele, Lyndsay Evans as Debbie Harry, Leah Tirado as Chaka Khan, Ginny Kincaid as Gwen Stefani, Shawndell Marks as Dolly Parton, Amber Sebastian performing The Cranberries, Lo Marie as Amy Winehouse, Jen Farley as Janis Joplin, Hannah Baker Switzer as Bjork, and Toya Robinson as Sharon Jones. And they’ll all backed by The Big Payback, a near virtuosic band that is taking on the daunting tasks of learning songs by all those singers and rehearsing with all those performers.<\/span>\n

Jeff Tweedy<\/h3>\n

Thursday, Sept. 20, Capitol Theater<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The number of musicians this could be said about is dwindling, but Jeff Tweedy has been in this since the \u201980s,<\/em> maaaan<\/em>. As co-frontman of alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo and the driving creative force behind Wilco, Tweedy has quietly become an icon of not just indie rock but of rock music in general. There\u2019s a reason Wilco is often called<\/a> the \u201cAmerican Radiohead.\u201d Here, Tweedy will perform solo, drawing from his many projects for what\u2019s bound to be an unforgettably intimate night with one of the all-time greats. Tickets go on sale tonight at 7 p.m.<\/span>\n

Avenged Sevenfold<\/h3>\n

Monday, Sept. 24, The Sylvee<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Avenged Sevenfold, or A7X for the culture, is one of the most successful heavy metal bands in the world. Of their seven full-length albums, five have gone either gold or platinum, and their watershed 2005 album City of Evil<\/em> more or less designed the template for modern metalcore. But unlike a lot of the bands currently filling out pages in Alternative Press<\/em>, the members of A7X are all phenomenally talented musicians \u2014 lead guitarist Synyster Gates is actually classically trained. Your move, Black Veil Brides.<\/span>\n

Tune-Yards<\/h3>\n

Sunday, Oct. 26, Majestic Theatre<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Describing Tune-Yards\u2019 music is like traveling at the speed of light \u2014 it\u2019s just not possible. Merrill Garbus, the longtime driving force behind the project, mixes a host of genres to create music that\u2019s as grand in scope as it is personally revealing. On this year\u2019s I can feel you creep into my private life<\/em>, Garbus explores feminism and race relations while musically exploring electronic flourishes<\/a>. You know what, there\u2019s the perfect way to describe Tune-Yards: exploration pop.<\/p>\n
