Breathe easy. We're getting over the hump of the week and there are some incredible music options for you on Wednesday. S. Carey, whose "Range of Light" was named one of the Best 50 Albums of 2014 So Far by Spin, drops in at the Casbah with the Pines. This should be an enchanting performance, for sure. Sadly, fans of S Carey are likely also fans of Wye Oak, who perform at the Belly Up with Pattern Is Movement -- who are super duper awesome guys in their own right -- so you'll have to choose between two great shows. Around town, catch Diatribes at Tin Can, Dizzy's hosts an ensemble for fans of the work of Charles Mingus, and Rat City Riot rock out at Til Two.
