Jack Johnson does not need a No. 1 album to sell tickets to a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, but the three-week dominance of “Sleep Through the Static” on the Billboard Top 200 never hurts, either.

Phil Lesh & Friends will hit Colorado for their annual warm-weather shows May 8 and 9 (at least we hope it’s warm by the time the former Grateful Dead member is at the Fillmore Auditorium). Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($45-$55, Ticketmaster)
DeVotchKa may be playing only one official local date to support its new disc, a March 18 in-store at Twist & Shout, but our favorite gypsy-mariachi-punk troubadors will also drop by the Boulder interview/performance show etown on March 20 with Au Revoir Simone. Tickets are on sale now. ($15, )
