Entertainment: More live music than you could possibly listen to this week

That headline is not a joke – there’s really too much live music this week to catch all of it. This means tough decisions will have to be made – Do you see the big-time Charlie Daniels Band at the Cap Center, or opt for a local band at bar?

Whatever you do, just don’t sit around all week and miss all of these shows.
