2.       Blake Sheldon: The country superstar has been a fixture on primetime television for the last five years as one quarter of the judging panel on the hit show ‘The Voice.’ If you’re not content with just watching his face on the small screen, in May, he released a new album, ‘If I’m Honest,’ and is currently touring behind it. He’s bringing along one of his ‘Voice’ protégés, RaeLynn, as well. (Friday and Saturday, Barclays Center)

3.       RX Bandits: RX Bandits are currently on a 10 year anniversary tour for their album ‘…And The Battle Begun,’ and are playing two shows in the area this week. Support for the show comes from And So I Watch You From Afar. (Saturday, Mulcahy’s; Monday, Irving Plaza)

4.       R. Kelly: A major staple of the 90s R&B scene, R. Kelly released his latest album, ‘The Buffet,’ in September 2015 and just announced the release a Christmas album, ’12 Nights of Christmas,’ which will come out later this month. In the meantime, the singer will be playing The Prudential Center as part of his ‘Buffet’ Tour. (Saturday, Prudential Center)

5.       The O’Jays: The O’Jays and the Commodores will be making their way to the NYCB Theatre on Saturday for a night of 1960s and 1970s nostalgia. This is your chance to hear hits like “Love Train” and “For the Love of Money” live! (Saturday, NYCB Theatre at Westbury)

(Sunday, Beacon Theatre)
