Cautious Clay

Headphones and car speakers are poor ways to deliver Cautious Clay's rich soundscapes to your ears. Try a live immersion, when the blender of R&B, hip-hop, and experimental indie holds sway over the House of Blues tonight. Nothing hesitant about this man's musical jabs, which float like butterflies and sting like bees. 8 pm; doors at 7 pm. 18 and older, please. Tickets start at $34. houseofblues.com/neworleans.
