Ledisi comes to Atlanta Symphony Hall on Sunday.
BY MELISSA RUGGIERI
SATURDAY
Jane Lynch
Her final moments as Sue Sylvester just aired, as “Glee” took its final bow last week, and Lynch is continuing the traditions of the Fox show with her See Jane Sing cabaret performances. The multi-talented Lynch told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in a recent interview that the show began with a four-night stint at a cabaret lounge in New York and pays homage to some of her quirky musical favorites, including “Slappin’ the Cakes on Me” and tunes from “A Mighty Wind.” Kate Flannery, an alum of “The Office,” and Tim Davis, the musical director for “Glee,” join Lynch, as does the Tony Guerrero Quintet.
With Kate Flannery and Tim Davis. 8 p.m. March 28. $25-$59.50. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
Cowboy Mouth
The New Orleans stalwarts will headline the 12th annual Oyster Crawfish Festival, bringing their two-plus decades of passionate rock with them. The band released its latest album, “Go!”, last fall, so expect some new tunes sprinkled into their set. You’ll probably hear “Jenny Says,” too. Cowboy Mouth will take the stage at 6 p.m., preceded by Mudcat at 4:15 p.m. and Wasted Potential Brass Band at 3 p.m.
With Mudcat and Wasted Potential Brass Band. 2 p.m. (doors) March 28. $15-$55 (ages 21 and under can attend when accompanied by a parent; children 12 and under are free). Park Tavern, 500 10th St. N.E., Atlanta. 404-249-0001, http://ift.tt/1ye9hmQ.
SUNDAY
Ledisi
The elegant soul singer received a new form of attention with her portrayal of Mahalia Jackson in “Selma.” Debate continues to rage about why Ledisi had to cede the spotlight to Beyonce to perform the “Selma” song at the Grammys, but she’s seemingly moved past that to concentrate on this tour and her most recent release, “The Intimate Truth.” The seven-song EP arrived in January and features acoustic versions of songs from her 2014 release, “The Truth.”
With Raheem Devaughn and Leela James. 8 p.m. March 29. $29.50-$59.50. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
Al Stewart
One of the most storied folk singers of his generation, Stewart is still best-known for his 1979 radio staples “Year of the Cat” and “Time Passages.” The Scotsman has the kind of storied history that sounds unbelievable on paper — he’s crossed paths with Paul Simon, Yoko Ono, Alan Parsons, Jimmy Page, Rick Wakeman and Peter White — and he’s still melding his literary stylings to music. The DVD “Live at Carmel-by-the-Sea,” his long-awaited 2011 reunion show with White, recently arrived, and fans can pick up his 2010 release, “Uncorked: Al Stewart Live With Dave Nachmanoff.”
8 p.m. March 29. Sold out. Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur. 1-877-725-8849, ticketalternative.com.
MONDAY
Kiesza
The spunky Canadian recently scored an armful of Juno Awards (the Great White North’s equivalent of the Grammys) for breakthrough artist as well as for her charming video for “Hideaway” and dance recording of the year for her album, “Sound of a Woman.” The affable 26-year-old also shared in a recent interview with the AJC that she recently recorded a song with Duran Duran, which is expected to be on the venerable British band’s new album.
With Betty Who. 8 p.m. March 30. $22.50. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
TUESDAY
Damien Rice
Not that Rice needed a career boost, but the massive mainstream success of Ed Sheeran has certainly heightened his profile. The young Sheeran constantly namedrops Rice as his primary inspiration, which has surely instigated thousands of fans to seek out the Irish indie rocker’s lean, visceral songs. Since his 2002 breakthrough, “O,” Rice has worked with many artists (Tori Amos, Ray LaMontagne and Melanie Laurent among them), and contributed to various charity recordings. His third album, “My Favourite Faded Fantasy,” arrived in November.
7:30 p.m. March 31. Sold out. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, www.livenation.com.
