12 must-see smaller-venue shows this fall
Rock, rap, pop, soul, country, and folk are all on the menu in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Allston, and Boston in the coming three months. Unlike former bandmate Juliana Hatfield, head Lemonhead Evan Dando hasn’t exactly been cranking out fresh, consistently great material this millennium. In fact, he has only two collections of covers in the past 18 years. However, when you have albums as timeless and irresistible as “It’s A Shame About Ray” and “Come On Feel” at your disposal, you’ll always find eager and attentive audiences, especially hometown ones. On two consecutive nights in November, Dando will perform both of these early-90s alt-rock/pop classics, which are awash in bite-sized power pop, expert songwriting, and clever, well-chosen covers. Saturday and Sunday, September 12-13, doors at 7 /show at 8, Paradise Rock Club, 967 Commonwealth Ave., $37.
