There are some awesome shows in town this Saturday night. The big one is certainly Ben Harper at Copley Symphony Hall. The room is one of the best to hear music in the city, and Harper's emotive music will certainly have a rapt audience. If, however, you're looking for smaller shows, Soda Bar hosts co-headliners Caspian and 65DaysOfStatic while the Casbah welcome the return of Autolux, the first time in a few years that they've been to town. There's certainly other goodness around town to be had, like the Yacht Rock Revue at House of Blues or Common Sense at the Belly Up, but Autolux is definitely my choice for the night.
