| Carrie Underwood Chaifetz Arena | Fri., December 5, 7:30pm | St. Louis - Midtown | |
 Forget Nostradamus: Simon Crowell saw the future in Carrie Underwood and that future is now, courtesy of the country star machine that was desperate for someone to fill Shania’s über-diva heels in a post-“Redneck Woman” world. (American Idol was good to her but nothing like... More >> |

| David Bazan Billiken Club at Saint Louis University - Busch Student Center | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | St. Louis - Midtown | |
 David Bazan is still revered for his work with Pedro the Lion, the beloved indie rock band he lead through four albums and a handful of EPs.

| El Ten Eleven Off Broadway | Wed., December 3, 9:00pm | St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park | |
 Too often, the loop pedal is a gimmick that compensates for shortchanging songwriting — not so with El Ten Eleven. The Los Angeles duo of bass player Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty uses loop pedals in a mellifluous way that recalls Andrew Bird's sample-based, one-man orchestra. The... More >> |

| Harry Connick, Jr. Fox Theatre | Sun., December 7, 7:30pm | St. Louis - Grand Center | |
 Michael Bublé should take a good, hard look at the career of Harry Connick, Jr. The pianist and crooner could have coasted on his good looks and easy charm behind the microphone, doing nothing but Great American Songbook standards and Rat Pack retreads, like Bublé has. But... More >> |

| In Flames The Pageant | Tue., December 9, 8:00pm | Delmar/The Loop | |
 In Flames is the perfect soundtrack to pillaging medieval hordes setting fire to villages and sticking townsfolk's heads on the ends of pikes, or bubonic plague sufferers coughing up blood and bits of pancreas while rats scurry around their soon-to-be-rotting bodies. Formed in Sweden in 1990 by... More >> |

| Jon Hardy and the Public Off Broadway | Sat., December 6, 9:00pm | St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park | |
 For a skinny white dude, Jon Hardy sure packs a lot of soul into his performances with the Public. The songs from last year ’s Working in Love drip with emotion and conviction, and Hardy channels his passion directly into his microphone. The band plays a mish-mash of Americana-influenced...

| Justin Townes Earle Deluxe | Wed., December 10, 8:00pm | Maplewood | |
 Even though he’s only in his mid-twenties, Justin Townes Earle has already lived a lifetime. As a teenager, he worked as a touring guitarist for Nashville acts like the Swindlers and the Distributors – which was good preparation for a stint playing with his father, Steve Earle. The... More >> |

| Kentucky Knife Fight Vintage Vinyl | Mon., December 8, 8:00pm | Delmar/The Loop | |
 Imagine the Replacements suffering through sweltering Midwestern summer nights instead of cold Minnesota winters, and infused with a little less punk and a little more dirty twang, and you have Edwardsville's Kentucky Knife Fight. The band's debut EP (recorded live at the Stagger Inn) shows a... More >> |

| Rats and People Silent Movie Show Off Broadway | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park | |
 The recent break-up of local favorites Rats and People was a major blow to the soul of the St. Louis music scene. Known for its strong storytelling and spirited instrumentation, the Rats filled a niche we didn't even know existed. But this dissolution has a big, fat silver lining: It leaves... More >> |

| Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White of Yes The Pageant | Tue., December 2, 8:00pm | Delmar/The Loop | |
 In the Yes masterpiece "Close To The Edge," Jon Anderson simply describes life's dual nature: "I get up, I get down." With Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman recently sidelined due to health problems, Yes may seem down. Fortunately, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White are up and out,... More >> |

| Dave Stone Trio Mangia Italiano | Every week Friday | St. Louis - South Grand | |
 Thanks in large part to his weekly stint at Mangia Italiano, saxophonist Dave Stone is something of a south-side saint, a bespectacled hero of the horn and a favorite of South Grand dwellers. While this has helped make him known around town, it's also made him easy to ignore. That would be a... More >> |
|||
| Madahoochi & Friends Cicero's | Every week Monday, 9:00pm | Delmar/The Loop | |
 Over the past few years Madahoochi went from being a local band to being somewhat of a local institution. Rest assured, at the head of the week if nothing is going on featuring a member of the Dead, Phish or Widespread Panic, you can find all your skirted, dreaded and patchoulied friends at... More >> |

| Mannheim Steamroller Fox Theatre |
Fri., December 5, 8:00pm more dates/times |
St. Louis - Grand Center | |
 Mannheim Steamroller plays neo-classical yuletide prog, which celebrates the joys of Christmas with an epic fruitcake of orchestral instruments, synths and overwhelming laser lights. With that said, it should not be confused with Trans-Siberian Orchestra; Mannheim takes a lighter approach to... More >> |

| Soulard Blues Band Broadway Oyster Bar |
Fri., July 6, 10:00pm more dates/times |
St. Louis - Downtown | |
 There have been some serious changes in the St. Louis
blues scene over the past year. Perennial local favorites Oliver Sain
and Johnnie Johnson have passed on, leaving us richer for having known
them and their music, yet indisputably poorer in their absence. The
departure of Sain and... More >> |
