As if you needed any more distractions to get in the way of you and your efforts to get a head start on cramming for finals, there’s a load of great concerts coming to Chicago throughout the next few weeks. Below are some tracks by musicians you don’t want to miss.
1. “Lay Myself Down” by Mazzy Star – It’s been 17 years since their last album was released, but Mazzy Star are touring once more in support of their latest album, “Seasons of Your Day.” The album features songs, like “Lay Myself Down,” seasoned in longing and desire, with a hint of hope here and there. You can catch them for $35 at the Vic Theatre Nov. 13.
2. “Numb” by Gary Clark Jr. – If Jimi Hendrix and the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach had a lovechild, I imagine he’d sound a lot like Gary Clark Jr. While this track is oozing with bluesrock sounds, you’ll hear soul, psychadelia, rock ‘n’ roll and even some R&B throughout his album,
