I run facilities at a Pilsen arts space so I know the difference between a good PA system and a nightmare. These are the November shows I've got circled, ranked somewhere between 'bought tickets' and 'will beg a friend for the extra.' Think of this like a scorecard from a Sox game, except the box score is good and the home team doesn't blow a 7th inning lead.

1Hamilton Leithauser + RostamMy home venue, my home team. Two indie heavyweights sharing a stage the size of a Sox infield. Walking distance from my day job, which means I will absolutely be there.Thalia HallPilsen
2Victor Wooten & The Wooten BrothersBass playing that should honestly be illegal. Bring earplugs and low expectations for your own guitar skills afterward.Thalia HallPilsen
3Stevie WonderThe Bulls play two blocks from here and still haven't given me a night this good since the Jordan years. Splurge on this one.United CenterNear West Side
4Orville PeckMasked cowboy crooner in a converted salt warehouse. The building alone is worth the ticket, the voice is just a bonus.The Salt ShedGoose Island
5TylaIf you need a reason to dance off a bad week, here it is. The Aragon's floor has seen every kind of Saturday night and this one's no different.Aragon BallroomUptown
6Squirrel FlowerLocal-ish songwriter, small room, the kind of show where you remember why you started going to shows. Back home again for this one.Thalia HallPilsen
