Norah Jones will bring her new album "Little Broken Hearts" to the Bayou Music Center on October 20. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on May 18. A few other recent concert announcements: underground rapper Aesop Rock has a new record called "Skelethon" out in July; he'll play Fitzgerald's on August 10. Austin proto-metal band the Sword will hit Fitz on June 17, and George Lewis Jr.'s dance-y alterna-pop act Twin Shadow will play there September 16.

Teenage DJ/producer Porter Robinson will drop in on Stereo Live on June 30. And bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley (who is the opposite of whatever a teenager is) will play the Dosey Doe on June 19. Also M83, who plays House of Blues next week, is already scheduled to come back for an October 10 show at the Bayou Music Center.

For those who plan WAY in advance Suzanne Vega has set a February 15 date at the Dosey Doe.
