FRIDAY
Gregg Allman
Tickets are long gone for All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman, which is no surprise considering the tribute show boasts a lineup of Vince Gill, Jackson Browne, Natalie Cole, Dr. John, Trace Adkins, Eric Church, Martina McBride, Robert Randolph, Widespread Panic, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Pat Monahan and, of course, the Allman Brothers Band. Legendary keyboardist Chuck Leavell also will join the festivities as part of the all-star backing band (led by Don Was), which also includes Kenny Aronoff on drums and guitarists Jack Pearson and Audley Freed. For those who couldn’t snag tickets, the concert is being filmed and will air on AXS TV in May.
7:30 p.m. Jan. 10. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-855-285-8499.
Queensryche
The late-′80s rock opera “Operation: Mindcrime” is a storied entry in the Queensryche discography. It didn’t achieve the crossover success of 1991’s “Silent Lucidity,” but the album garnered numerous kudos in the hard rock-metal world for its musical storyline about a recovering drug addict who becomes a political assassin. The band, fronted by the distinctive-voiced Geoff Tate, will perform the album — now 25 years old — in its entirety, and include some other classic Queensryche songs as well.
With Kickin’ Valentina. 9 p.m. Jan. 10. $25 (in advance) and $30 (at the door). Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.
SATURDAY
Cate Le Bon
The Welsh singer with the haunting, Nico-esque voice has been floating around since 2008. Since moving to Los Angeles last year, though, Le Bon (no relation to Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, though the woman born Cate Timothy took her stage name from him), has made a concerted effort to further her profile in the U.S. Le Bon maintained ties to her British heritage by opening several dates last fall for Manic Street Preachers, but also unveiled her latest album, “Mug Museum,” in the States in November.
7 p.m. Jan. 11. $10 (in advance), $12 (at the door) and $50 (reserved table of four). Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur. 1-877-725-8849.
Callaghan
The comely English alt-country singer-pianist will celebrate her birthday onstage with her acoustic trio. After relocating to Atlanta a couple of years ago to work with Shawn Mullins (who produced her 2009 single, “Smile,” as well as her 2012 debut, “Life in Full Colour”), Callaghan since has moved to Nashville. But she did record part of her “Callaghan Live in America” album last summer at Red Clay Theatre.
With Max Gomez. 8 p.m. Jan. 11. $17 (in advance) and $21 (at the door). Red Clay Theatre, 3116 Main St., Duluth. 404-478-2749.
WEDNESDAY
Hot Tuna and Leon Russell
Hot Tuna founders Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady will go acoustic for their Atlanta gig, and also are bringing the legendary Russell along to share the bill. Hot Tuna’s most recent album, “Steady as She Goes,” arrived in 2011 — a mere 21 years after its last previous album — but the long-running side project to Jefferson Airplane garners interest primarily for the musical integrity displayed by Kaukonen and Casady. The silver-maned Russell, meanwhile, recaptured some mainstream recognition with his excellent pairing with Elton John in 2010 on “The Union.”
8 p.m. Jan. 15. $28.50. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
THURSDAY
The Wailers
For the 30th anniversary of “Legend,” Bob Marley’s greatest hits collection — which remains the best-selling reggae album of all time, with 25 million copies sold worldwide — the Wailers will present the track listing in full. Take a deep breath and get ready to bounce and bob along to “No Woman, No Cry,” “Could You Be Loved,” “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Stir it Up.” The band’s anchor, Aston “Family Man” Barrett, is still in the group, holding down the groove on bass.
With British Dependency. 7 p.m. Jan. 16. $22. Heaven at the Masquerade, 695 North Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
