Kathleen Edwards’ achingly beautiful “Asking for Flowers” makes it easy to fall in love with the Canadian singer’s alternately vulnerable and resolute songwriting gifts. Catch songs from that album tonight at the Fox Theatre in Boulder with Last Town Chorus. $18.
American Music Club titled its new disc “The Golden Age,” a somewhat disingenuous tag given that it’s just as rooted in narrative subtleties and disaffection as its past work. And that’s a good thing. Tonight at the Larimer Lounge with Bela Karoli and Hello Kavita. $11.
Duran Duran’s “Red Carpet Massacre” tour takes cues from Broadway with a three-act format and elaborate staging aimed at freshening the band’s graying image. What else would we expect from shameless synth-pop purveyors? Monday at the Wells Fargo Theatre with Your Vegas. $44.50-$79.50.
Carrie Underwood’s 2005 “American Idol” win positioned her as more pop than country, but fast-forwarding through the multiplatinum sales and awards finds Underwood more the latter than the former. Tuesday at the World Arena in Colorado Springs with Josh Turner. $32-$52.
