Dr. Dog Pennsylvania rock six-piece Dr. Dog has been together for more than 15 years, but Live at a Flamingo Hotel marks the band’s first live album-which is a shame, as it’s onstage that the group really shines. Flamingo Hotel’s set list should please Dr. Dog fans new and old, as the band stretches back to its early discography for songs like “Say Ahhh” and “County Line” from its debut album, Toothbrush, while also including tunes like “The Truth” and “Broken Heart” from its latest studio release, B-Room. The entrancing quality of the band’s live shows comes through loud and clear on Flamingo Hotel, which should satisfy fans unable to see the real thing themselves. With Hanni El-Khatib. Showbox. 8 p.m. $26.50. All ages. The Showbox, 1426 First Ave., Seattle, WA 98101 $26.50 Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 8pm

Lucinda Williams Though her lyrics are sometimes borderline slurred (see: “West Memphis”), bluesy rock singer Lucinda Williams’ voice is so expressive, it’s hard not to jump from one emotion to the next as quickly as she does when listening to her 11th studio album, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. Williams is no-nonsense on “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” melancholic on “It’s Gonna Rain,” optimistic on “Stand Right by Each Other” and “Walk On,” and grateful on “Stowaway in Your Heart.” Handling the lengthy project like the pro she is, she takes every opportunity across the double album’s 20 songs to showcase her distinctive rasp. With Kenneth Brian Band. The Neptune, 1303 N.E. 45th St., 682-1414, stgpresents.org/neptune. 8 p.m. $37.50 adv./$40 DOS. All ages.
