SARA BAREILLES Bareilles found success with her 2007 hit “Love Song,” but that may have steered her into a VH1 crowd — but don’t be fooled by one song. There’s more depth to her songwriting than that and more diversity and talent, too. For fun — and to be impressed — check out her cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” With Greg Laswell and Holly Conlan. $20-$25, Neighborhood Theatre, www.neighborhoodtheatre.com (Jeff Hahne)

BOB DYLAN Six decades into a career that landed him in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame over two decades ago, his music is still the soundtrack to many Baby Boomers’ lives (and their kids, too). From his pro-civil rights, anti-war anthems in the ’60s to his Grammy Award-winning material in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and even this century, the opportunity to see this legend at work is can’t-miss. $25-$45, www.aeglive.com, Halton Arena, UNC Charlotte (Mike McCray)
