The Jayhawks are one of the pre-eminent alt-country bands to emerge from the cult genre’s ’90s heyday, and they’re sure to offer a dose of nostalgia at the Ogden Theatre tonight. But the real reason to hit this show is opener Justin Townes Earle. As hard-livin’ troubadour son of the hard-livin’ Steve Earle, Justin is one of the most captivating songwriters on the circuit today. His fifth album, “Nothin’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now,” is due in March and is already receiving positive reviews. Tickets for tonight’s show, $35, are available through .

Make no mistake: Sunday’s 5 p.m. show at the Larimer Lounge, will be a delicate, even slow affair, but that’s all the more reason to see it in the proper intimate space. Tickets, $15-$18, are available through . Read a Q&A with Rumer on Reverb ().
