Rob's not coming to town, but his songs are.

This week, there's so much live music happening in Broward and Palm Beach counties, it's almost oppressive. That's a slight exaggeration. But there definitely is enough going on to keep your feet tapping or your head banging till next Monday.

Luckily, you've been saving up for this big moment. A short post holiday break, and there's still life in you yet! What follows is a list of the best concerts or shows happening around these parts this week.

If you find nothing to do on this list, then you are Rob Zombie, on the inside.

Wednesday, January 9

Melvin Seals and Jerry Garcia Band. With Bobby Lee Rodgers and Crazy Fingers. 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 9, at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Ft. Lauderdale. Ages 21 and up. Tickets are $29 including fees and can be purchased through Ticketmaster. For more info call 954-449-1025 or visit jointherevolution.net.

Melvin Seals uses the piano to channel the soul of the late, great Jerry Garcia. When he plays Grateful Dead songs with the JGB this Wednesday, you'll be glad you stocked up on the Cherry Garcia, the ultimate answer the midnight question: Munchies? Full preview here.

Foreigner. 8 p.m., January 9, Hard Rock Live, One Seminole Way, Hollywood. Tickets cost between $44 and $74 plus fees. Visit hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com.

Get your dirty white boy on and bring your favorite juke box hero, Foreigner is gonna have your blood hot and give you double vision. (See what we did there? All the songs in one sentence!)
