Ledisi You may think this four-time Grammy nominee is fairly new to the game but don’t let 2008’s Best New Artist nomination fool you, she’s been cutting her teeth as a soul-jazz singer since the mid-’90s. Blending those elements, she just put the finishing touches on her next project, recording her last song just days ago. If it’s anything like her first three albums, your ears are in for a treat. See Ledisi as part of the Intimacy Tour headlined by Kem and featuring Musiq Soulchild. $49.50-$66. Ovens Auditorium. www.ovensauditorium.com. (Mike McCray)

Alvin Youngblood Hart Acoustic blues played right penetrates the soul. Hart is one bluesman with an ear for both somber acoustic and blistering electric blues. He’s not bashful about taking detours from traditional blues either, as the record Territory from a few years back ventured into jazz, reggae, jug band, and other roots genres. But blues is Hart’s calling, and the guitar is his voice. $10. Evening Muse. www.eveningmuse.com. (Samir Shukla)
