STAYING IN TUNE
ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO Escovedo’s career arc has always burned brightly and far above any trends. From his ’70s punk days with The Nuns, ’80s with proto-Americana bands Rank & File and True Believers and to present day, Escovedo has been blazing a trail that might burn past music fans looking for a cursory listen, while finding strong favor with peers-turned-collaborators like Peter Buck (REM), Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). Escovedo and his band’s performance here is in support of his latest release, Burn Something Beautiful. 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 27 with The Pat Puckett Trio, Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, $24.50-$38.50, pvconcerthall.com. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • June 21-27, 2017

ROAD STORY
JOHN MELLENCAMP & FRIENDS Mellencamp has always been an inscrutable kind of musician. While enjoying pop chart gold in the ’80s, Mellencamp/Cougar focused on co-founding Farm Aid concerts. Over the years, he shed his pop image and his phony name, in some ways challenging and demanding that his fans follow him on his journey or hey, hit the highway. Touring in support of his new release, Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, Mellencamp brings a roving gang of fellow troubadours who share his love of poetry turned lyrical, with guest performances by Carlene Carter, Lily & Madeleine and the incomparable Emmylou Harris. 7 p.m. Saturday, June 24, St. Augustine Amphitheatre, $64.50-$129.50, staugamphitheatre.com.

GODDESS OF SOUL
DIANA ROSS What can we write about Diana Ross that hasn’t been written a thousand times? Here’s a thousand and one! The singer-actress-diva-queen first came to prominence in the ’60s with The Supremes, helping create soul music and what became known as the Motown Sound, while in the process opening the door for subsequent African-American and female artists. She starred on the big screen in the ’70s with Lady Sings the Blues, Mahogany and The Wiz, and has spent the last 30-plus years racking up an array of award nods and wins, including 2012’s Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 28, Daily’s Place, Downtown, $42.50-$121.50, ticketmaster.com.
