WED/3
THE DECEMBERISTS The chamber pop quintet engages fanciful folklore with baroque instrumentation and prog-rock arrangements. Their ability to pull it off is a testament to front man Colin Meloy's storytelling and the group’s musical talent. $27.50. 8 p.m. Tabernacle. 404-659-9022. www.livenation.com. — Chris Parker
THURS/4
TAB BENOIT, LEGENDARY JC’S Louisiana bluesman Benoit might be a frequent visitor but that doesn’t make his Telecaster driven swamp rock any less riveting. Recent shows have him stripping down from his roaring trio with an acoustic solo mid-set performance that further showcases Benoit’s underrated soulful voice. $17.50. 8 p.m. Smith’s Olde Bar. 404-875-1522. www.smithsoldebar.com. — Hal Horowitz
WAYNE HANCOCK The train is a roadhouse boogie warrior, and didn’t let a nasty dustup stop his tour. Grooming a couple of fresh faces on stage every night, they should be pretty dang good by the time they get here. $12. 9PM. The EARL. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com. — James Kelly

Keep an ear out for the new songs, too
