John Legend and Jewel seem like bizarre co-headliners until you realize each peddles an easy-to-swallow musical pill, albeit in different packages. Tonight at Fiddler’s Green. $35-$75.
Times New Viking, a Columbus, Ohio- bred indie-punk trio, has come to define an emerging, violently lo-fi style with a name unprintable in this family publication. (Trust us, it rocks.) Tonight at the Larimer Lounge with Pacific Pride, Fell and Raleigh. $10.
Big Head Todd and the Monsters will forgo the opening acts and perform two extra-long sets for the taping of its new DVD. Catch the long-running Denver band Saturday at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. $45.
Sheryl Crow’s yearning pop-folk ballads and crunchy country-rock are tailor-made for Red Rocks’ tilted-hat environs. Monday with Brandi Carlile. $49- $76.50.
Dethklok’s evolution from cartoon band to best-selling death metal act smudges the line between homage and parody — and we love them for it. Thursday at the Gothic with Chimaira. $25.
