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)
