In this edition of Can't Miss Concerts, from March 3 to 9, we have a garage rock mainstay, the self-appointed "last cocaine superhero" and a singer/songwriter compared to the legendary Leonard Cohen. With plenty of tours hitting full steam this week, be sure to check out our Concert Listings page for more shows coming up.
