Saxon Pub, 1320 S. Lamar
ZZ Ward
From the mighty Mouseketeer imprint that brought you Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, who loaded up Stubb’s for two nights earlier this month, comes another breakout with pipes to match. Zsuzsanna Eva Ward, soon to be known as the American Adele thanks to her debut LP Til the Casket Drops (Hollywood Records), doesn’t just torch twang with her Skyfall vox. She’s hip (Kendrick Lamar), hop (Freddie Gibbs), and soul-searing. Say you saw her here first. L.A.’s harmonious, chamber roots trio Yellow Red Sparks opens. – Raoul Hernandez
Lamberts, 401 W. Second
