Staff Picks

SHOWWALTER, ELONZO WESLEY, THE LAMPLIGHT GOSPEL, JACKSON HARDEN

The Milestone 3400 Tuckaseegee Rd, Charlotte, NC, United States
$10
Showalter is Oh! You Pretty Things co-founder and guitarist Joseph Conde, stepping out solo with his Lambsbread EP release show. Conde’s hypnotic acoustic covers highlight elemental vocals (Phoebe Bridger’s “Killer”) and impeccable taste (traditional “Hangman” covered by Led Zeppelin as “Gallows Pole”). His originals — like the Nick Drake-gone-psychotic reverie “With My Companion” — are even better. Accomplished Charlotte alt-folk artist Elonzo Wesley retains the beguiling specter of his former band Elonzo’s alt-pop.

Jacquees, Nick Lavelle

Neighborhood Theatre 511 E 36th St, Charlotte, NC, United States
$38
Armed with sassy come-ons and massive melodies, rapper Jacquees took some shit when he named his 2019 album King of R&B, thereby self-anointing himself to the title. More a singer who raps than vice versa, Jacquees may actually deserve the honorific, displaying an intuitive mastery of R&B’s lady killer subgenre embodied by Barry White. Jacquees’ 2022 masterwork Sincerely For You, is the apotheosis of slow jams, delving into heartfelt intimacy as much as sex. Formerly...
