Jukebox the Ghost Plays Arch Street Tavern in Hartford on Feb. 7

Change can be good. After 2010's Everything Under the Sun, Philly-cum-NYC trio Jukebox the Ghost (pictured) played dozens of shows before recording their third album, Safe Travels, released last summer. There's some sort of epic moment — sometimes more than one — embedded on every track of the new album, which makes it easy to imagine the Arch Street Tavern floor shaking for most of the night. Journeyman Matt Pond and Cleveland quintet the Lighthouse and the Whaler open.
