How to get wowed on a Wednesday:

‣ Aloe Blacc [pictured], D’Angelo, Angélique Kidjo and Bettye LaVette are the special guests at the Hollywood Bowl for “Get On Up: A James Brown Celebration,” which features Christian McBride as musical director and a host of people who once played in Brown’s band.
‣When’s that debut album coming out? Maybe L.A. rapper Casey Veggies will let us know when he performs at the El Rey Theatre.
‣ Canadian heavy-blues crazy Reignwolf headlines the Troubadour, with the Futures League supporting.
‣ Harper Simon does a show at the Bootleg HiFi, supported by Guy Blakeslee, Vikesh Kapoor and Pearl Charles (of the Blank Tapes).
‣ And U.K. rock quintet Basement visit the Echo, supported by Cloakroom, Creative Adult and Fell to Low.
