Cat Power
Two decades since the release of The Greatest, we’re still trying to recover. Just when we think we’re ready to move on from the quiet devastation of songs like “Lived in Bars” or the feeling of crushing regret you get when listening to the title track, we hear that Chan Marshall is hitting the road to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album that made the whole world cry. Here’s hoping we can get Kleenex past security. 8 p.m. Check website for ticket prices. The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix, 480-659-1641, livenation.com
