Rodney Crowell.

A legendary country and country-rock singer-songwriter whose songs feature a characteristic blend of amiable charm and lurking menace. Crowell first gained attention in the 70s as a guitarist and principal songwriter in Emmylou Harris’s band, and in the 80s he wrote hits for several country-pop performers, including Crystal Gayle and the Oak Ridge Boys before striking out as a headliner in his own right. His current show features songs from throughout his career, mixed with tunes from his new release, The Chicago Sessions. Opener: Laurel Lewis, a young Americana singer-songwriter from Kentucky. $45-$75.
