Blitzen Trapper @ Lincoln Hall$20 8pm
Opening: Sarah Jaffe
All due respect to Blitzen Trapper, it is Texas singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe that draws us to Lincoln Hall on Monday night. She took a sharp turn with a more electronic sound for her sophomore album, paying off for one of the best albums of the year.

Right Away, Great Captain (Andy Hull) @ Subterranean$15 7pm
Opening: Casey Crescenzo (The Dear Hunter), Harrison Hudson
Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull lands at the tiny Subterranean stage with his fantastic solo project, Right Away, Great Captain. The shaggy folk style of the project fit his gruff, emotional voice and narrative songwriting brilliantly. This is a must-see show at a small venue, leaving us baffled as to how there are still tickets available.

Tanlines @ Lincoln Hall$14 10pm
Opening: California Wives
Brooklyn duo, Tanlines bring their excellent uptempo electropop sound to Lincoln Hall to close out the weekend with a bang. Lovable "All Of Me" might be getting the airplay right now, but there are plenty of other excellent tracks on their debut to make you wonder how much longer they will be able to play at venues this size.
