CRITIC’S TIPS
Mary Lou Lord – at the Plough & Stars on Thursday, Nov. 8. Mary Lou is playing half the night with a band, the other half solo. Either way should be engaging.
Marc Cohn – at the Somerville Theatre on Friday, Nov. 9. The man who made the hit of “Walking to Memphis’’ is back with his slow-drawling, but finely articulated, style.
Middle East’s 20th anniversary party – at the Middle East Upstairs on Saturday, Nov. 10. Let the celebration begin with Boston veteran Thalia Zedek (with special guest Chris Brokaw) and new buzz bands Hallelujah the Hills and Drug Rug.
The Police – at the TD Banknorth Garden on Sunday, Nov. 11. They were fun at Fenway, and there’s no reason to expect less this weekend.
John Butler Trio – at the Orpheum on Sunday, Nov. 11 with Ian Ball of Gomez. Butler was sensational at the WBOS Earth Fest last spring. And opening act Ian Ball should be a nice complement.
Annie Lennox – at Symphony Hall on Sunday. The co-founder of Eurythmics pays a rare visit. The last time she was in the area, she opened for Sting at the Tweeter Center. Lennox personifies style.
Benefit for Malalaka House – at Toast on Sunday, Nov. 11. Robert Fleming a former Vermont tennis coach, has opened an orphanage in Uganda. This show will help him out. A great bill with Adam Ezra, Flynn, Paddy Saul, Christian McNeill and others. And Toast is a hot new club, so it’s worth a visit.
Asleep at the Wheel – at the Regent Theatre in Arlington on Wednesday, Nov. 14. The Wheel’s Western Swing speaks for itself. And the excellent, Boston-based Duke Levine Band opens.
