Joe Bonamassa, Tuesday Nov. 8, 8 p.m. at State Theatre. The devil will surely be callin’ it a Stormy Tuesday tomorrow evening as Joe Bonamassa takes the stage of The State Theatre to wail his generational take on blaring blues-rock. Since the age of twelve, Bonamassa has been channeling his British blues revivalist influences through a new light; iconic influences of his include John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Jeff Beck Group and Irish bluesman Rory Gallagher. Bonamassa has gone on to play with a number of blues greats, including Eric Clapton, Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray, among many more. His latest stint with his super-group Black Country Communion, which includes members Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath), Jason Bonham (Zeppelin child), and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), is bound to bring some fresh tones to drown those blues in whiskey with. —Justin Zupnick

The Sadies, Saturday , Nov. 12, 9 p.m. at Castaways. Embrace the last of the autumn fall this upcoming weekend with alternative indie country group, The Sadies. These Canadian rockers bring a reverberating, twangy garage edge to Americana that sounds like a Squires-era Neil Young kicking back in The Byrds in Neko Cases’ (The New Pornographers) dressing room. Surely it’s no coincidence that The Sadies supported Neil Young on a Canadian tribute album to the Band for “This Wheel’s on Fire” and are Neko’s live backing band of choice. Hailed in 2007 by Canada’s Exclaim as the #1 roots album, with nods of approval by Rolling Stone and NPR’s Fresh Air, The Sadies’ scent of savanna psychedelic will hopefully be a nice parting gift to the last of Ithaca’s ravishing foliage. — Justin Zupnick

No Exit Nov. 10-12, 17-18 Kiplinger Theater, Schwartz Center. This weekend, the Schwartz Center will be putting on a performance of No Exit, a 1944 existential play by the French philosopher, Jean Paul Sartre. Julia Kleist Mendez, ’12, is directing the performance. No Exit evokes some of the philosophical ideas that Sartre developed in his 1943 treatise on existentialism, Being and Nothingness. The play centers on three characters who waiting out eternity together in a room in hell. Unsure of the nature of their punishment, they soon realize that their torture is to be imprisoned with the others. Despite their desire to leave the room and enter the unknown — outside the gaze of society, which has accompanied them into hell — the three find themselves restrained by their perverse relationships with one another. No Exit will provide the perfect diversion for students on campus wishing to contemplate their existence. —Sun Staff
