The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and honorary Pulitzer Prize winner has played more than 2,300 concerts in the last 20 years alone. He’s been hailed by Time magazine as a “master poet, caustic social critic, and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation.” Tickets ($40 to $77.50) are still available through Ticket Fly. Doors open at 6 PM.
DRINKS: DC Beer Week may be getting all the attention these days, but those in search of something a bit heartier can drop by Cuba Libre for their National Rum Day Celebration.

SIGNING: Jennifer Close will be discussing and signing copies of her debut novel, Girls in White Dresses, at Politics and Prose.
