Last year around this time i fell in love with Canadian alt-country artist Doug Paisley, and I sort of forgot about him until yesterday when i came across my copy of Strong Feelings. So imagine my delight at hearing he'll appear at the Pittsburgh Winery on Nov. 8. He'll be joined by folk singer Joan Shelley ($10-12, on sale now). 

In other news, a couple of hip-hop tours are stopping at Altar Bar including Casey Veggies on Nov. 10 ($16-18, on sale now) and Skizzy Mars with Kool John and P-Lo on Feb. 9 ($17-20, on sale now). 

Indigenous and the Jeff Fetterman Band will be at the Hard Rock Cafe on Jan. 28, 2016 ($13-15, on sale Sat.)

NYC's Parlour Tricks plays Spirit on Nov. 13 ($10, on sale now).

This Saturday, on Oct. 17,  Black Forge Coffee House in Allentown hosts prog metal duo Indian Handcrafts ($10, on sale now).

And coming to the Palace Theater in Greenfield next year: Belinda Carlisle on April 6 ($49-59, on sale Oct. 23) and Robin Trower (also $49-59, on sale Oct. 23).

Some more stuff: Wilco will appear at the Benedum Center along with William Tyler on January 25 (tickets start at $38.75, on sale Friday). Leon Bridges and Audra Day play Stage AE on June 3 ($24.99 - 27.50, on sale Friday).
