Bob Dylan Opinions differ on the effectiveness of the 70-year-old’s voice and classic-song rearrangements. But let’s all agree on this: No touring act boasts a better catalog, and our chances to marvel at it—and him—are dwindling. July 16, 8 p.m., $100-$200, the Pearl.

British songstress Adele has already sold out her upcoming concert at the Cosmopolitan.

Adele Forget Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen. If you want a female vocalist who sings with soul and honesty, check out this Brit’s sophomore album, 21. Then cry over the super-fast sellout of her August Cosmo concert.

SHOP

FEED The weekly Downtown farmer’s market from the founders of Project Dinner Table begins selling produce from Gilcrease Orchard, McLeod Ranch and beyond on July 14. It’s inside, so the veggies won’t wilt—and neither will you. 10 a.m.-1 p.m., free. Azul, 115 N. 7th St.

SNACK

3 Musketeers Mint Mint chocolate is tricky. Like a lemon bar, it seems like it should be part-healthy. Of course, it’s not. But as long as you’re indulging—and we know you are—indulge on this bar. Or go for a bag of the minis.
