Definitely, Susan, the Emmylou show is a big one, too. I try to pick one event for each area of entertainment (plus at least one event at the library) and went with Jay-Z because it's rarer that he's performing in Washtenaw County. As for Emmylou, look for our concert preview today and a review late night on Friday.
