7 buzzworthy concerts coming to Charlotte in the next week
Kali Uchis
Saturday 8 p.m. The Fillmore, 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd. $27.50. www.livenation.com.
On her debut album, “Isolation,” the Colombian-American vocalist expands on her reggae- and doo-wop-influenced sound with softer electronic flourishes, jazz and classic funk; collaborators like Tyler, the Creator and Jorja Smith; and eclectic producers from Gorillaz, Thundercat, Tame Impala and BadBadNotGood. With Gabriel Garzon-Montano.
Tamia
Sunday 8 p.m. The Fillmore, 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd. $25. www.livenation.com.
Following the September release of her seventh album, “Passion Like Fire,” the Canadian R&B singer embarks on the tour of the same name. While the album hasn’t been a huge commercial success yet, it produced one of her biggest more-recent hits, “Leave It Smokin’.”
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Sunday 8 p.m. Neighborhood Theatre, 511 E. 36th St. $32-$42. www.neighborhoodtheatre.com.
If you remember the swing resurgence of the mid-’90s, then you’ll likely remember this California swing revivalist. The band drew mainstream attention thanks to its inclusion in the 1996 film “Swingers” and the subsequent breakout “You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three”; it continues to bring a swinging good time to the stage 25 years in.
Maxwell
Tuesday 7:30 p.m. Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheatre, 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd. $30.50-$225. www.livenation.com.
With the 20th anniversary of his album “Embrya” and new material like the summer track “We Never Saw It Coming” added to his repertoire, the Grammy-winning soul singer returns 10 days into his 50 Intimate Nights Tour. With British singer Marsha Ambrosius, who recently released her third album, “Nyla.”
Alice Cooper
Tuesday 8 p.m. Ovens Auditorium, 2700 E. Independence Blvd. $34.50-$217.75. www.ticketmaster.com.
While more-recent visits to Charlotte have seen Cooper as an opening act — albeit one that still lops off heads via guillotine and boasts a giant Frankenstein monster — this time fans can get the full Alice treatment: His “A Paranormal Evening With” show promises helpings of blood, gore and theatrics, fittingly at the creepiest time of year.
Goo Goo Dolls
Wednesday 8 p.m. The Fillmore, 1000 NC Music Factory Blvd. $52. www.livenation.com.
The Buffalo, N.Y. trio had been picking up steam for a decade on college rock radio before hitting big with 1995 hit “Name,” then three years later landed squarely on the mainstream map thanks to the quadruple-platinum “Dizzy Up the Girl” (which featured the smash single “Iris”). The band celebrates that album’s 20th anniversary by playing it live in its entirety.
Chris Stapleton
Thursday 7 p.m. PNC Music Pavilion, 707 Pavilion Blvd. $173.33-$217.75 (the lawn is sold out). www.livenation.com.
Having helped usher in a new era of outlaw country, the Grammy-winning country singer returns with his “All American Road Show.” With glam-grass legend Marty Stuart and acclaimed Nashville songwriter Brent Cobb (cousin of “it” producer Dave Cobb, who has written for Little Big Town, Luke Bryan and others). Cobb will also be at Lunchbox Records at 1 p.m. that day to perform and meet fans.
