This Week in Great Music: 5/3 – 5/9

By Sarah on May 3, 2010

It looks like a quiet week, but I find myself strangely busy. I’ll be checking out the Laura Marling show tomorrow night, and Jerome Holloway’s show on Friday. I saw him open for Nneka in February and thought he was really good, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with a headlining spot. Saturday also has some strong line-ups of local bands, both at Bottom Lounge and at the Beat Kitchen.

And if irreverent, snarky humor is your thing, Joel McHale is doing two shows at the Chicago Theatre on Saturday. It looks like both shows are sold out, though, so you might have to do some Craigslist sleuthing to get tickets.
