Week ahead: Raheem DeVaughn souls up the Birchmere; Tabi Bonney gets "Fresh"; Taylor and Beyonce get thankful
Don't overlook local rapper Tabi Bonney's new album in this week's Kanye storm. (Kyle Gustafson/FTWP)
If you go to one concert this week, make it: Local neo-soul star Raheem DeVaughn who is equally adept at delivering both protest songs and bedroom jams. Catch him Sunday at the Birchmere.
If you buy one album tomorrow, make it: Well, you may have heard about this new album by Kanye West. It's pretty, pretty, pretty good. But you'll also want to check out "Fresh," by local MC Tabi Bonney.
And if you stay up late to watch one artist on TV this week, make it: You don't even have to stay up late this week, although 8 p.m. on Thursday might feel late once all that tryptophan has set in. Two of pop music's biggest names will have Thanksgiving evening specials; at 8 p.m. on NBC Taylor Swift presents her "Speak Now" concert and at 9:30 p.m. it's Beyonce's "I Am ... World Tour" special on ABC.
