Just when you thought pop songs couldn’t get any more clever, the wholly remarkable Extraordinaires return for their first Charlottesville show in more than a year, this time with copies of their new album/board game in tow, apparently an attempt to top the previous album-meets-storybook outing, as well as DVDs of the Ribbons of War musical they performed at Live Arts last fall.

Busy little Brooklyn bee Tavo Carbone opens sans the usual band for an all-acoustic, mostly solo set. Also look for performances from Sophie Brunner and Nelly Kate.
