There are a number of shows coming up this month that are worth marking on your calendar.  Here's a preview of four of them:

November 7 – First Saturday at Brooklyn Museum:  Taking the lead from
the just opened Who Shot Rock and Roll exhibit, Grass Widow, The Beets
and Crystal Silts will play from 5-8:15pm.  If that doesn't suit you,
catch Prince in Purple Rain at 7pm.

November 12 – Zevon-A-Thon at Banjo Jims: Warren Zevon may have only
lived to 56, but he left behind music that was savage, tender, funny,
noir and romantic. A collection of singers, songwriters and musicians
will perform both Warren's well known and more rarely heard material
from 8pm until late.

November 24 – Acoustically Related at Southpaw: Catch three artists
performing acoustically in Southpaw's monthly series. This time out,
you'll get to see Jim Boggia who is not only a great songwriter but who
also knows almost every song written in the last 50 years and is really
funny on stage, OTBKB Music fave Leslie Mendelson, another great live
performer with her piano based adult pop and rock and Benyaro who are
new to me.  The show starts at 8:30pm.

November 27 – Chuck Prophet at 92Y Tribeca:  Based in San Francisco,
Chuck and The Mission Express don't get to these parts all that often,
so take this opportunity to see this tight soul tinged rock band who
know how to get you moving.  This is the the Friday of the Thanksgiving
Day weekend, so you may not be in town, but if you are this is the
place to be.  8pm.
