Divebar + Evan Jacover
Schubas, 8:30pm, $7, 18+
Evanston-born singer-songwriter Evan Jacover has been likened to “a cross between Leonard Cohen and ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic,” and while he does sound like the pop-music parodist, his songs skew more toward break ups and traffic jams than food. Thankfully, though, quirky, clever lyrics prevent the music from being sigh-inducingly mopey. He plays this record-release show behind the new One Pair of Shoes. Headliner Divebar–whose vocalist Kelly Stanley sings on Jacover’s new album–plays rock-tinged country.
