Tuesday night can seem like an off night to hit a show at times, but sometimes the shows (or the artists and agents who book them) don't really care, so long as they can get you in the door. So when a legend like Buddy Guy comes through Humphreys, you might rearrange your schedule so you can see the master joined by Jonny Lang, who was a teen phenom at one point and has earned his stature in modern guitar royalty. Meanwhile, around town, industrial act OhGR -- featuring members of Skinny Puppy -- headline House of Blues, while Downers roeck Casbah and Imagery Machine resurfaces with a show at Soda Bar.
