Friday 25, Radio/EastLast year, Silverada took the cover of the Chronicle as the hard-driving country quintet shed the Mike & the Moonpies moniker they’d ridden for nearly two decades and reloaded for the next phase of the band.

Recommended shows for the week ahead Thursday 27, ACL LiveIt’s difficult to overstate the influence of NGDB’s 1972 triple-platter LP Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The album aligned the country-rock insurgence of the 1960s with the Grand Ole Opry tradition, paying earnest deference to legendary country artists and styles while ushering in a new era for Nashville.
