HEAR

Coheed and Cambria After seven studio albums and more than 20 comic books based on the fictional Amory Wars saga, the prog-rockers head out to support their first non-concept record, the poppy, emo-tinged The Color Before the Sun. With Glassjaw, I The Mighty, Silver Snakes. March 25, 7:30 p.m., $27-$50, Brooklyn Bowl.

Kristin Chenoweth Pint-sized with powerhouse pipes, the Tony- and Emmy-winning star performs popular songs from past projects and the Great American Songbook. Here’s hoping for a reprise of her Glee performance of Cabaret’s “Maybe This Time.” March 25, 7:30 p.m., $29-$115, Smith Center’s Reynolds Hall.

Slayer Iconic hard-rock acts flocked to Las Vegas all winter—AC/DC, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth—and the spring keeps it heavy, with Slayer riding in behind September’s Repentless, its first album since guitarist Jeff Hanneman’s 2013 death. With Testament, Carcass. March 26, 8 p.m., $40-$125, the Joint.

The Sounds of Miles Davis The David Bowie tributes were nice, but it’s time to pay homage to another musical genius. And when it comes to the so-called Prince of Darkness, this talented local duo—trumpet player Chandler Judkins and drummer Brian Czach—has you covered. March 29, 7 p.m., $15, Baobab Stage, Town Square.

GO
