Where to be this weekend
I Leave You Dreaming details the happy accidents, sad departures, and messy tangles of love lives. The CD is the work of Kelly Prescott, the Valley-reared singer who is part of the band Prescott with her brother Kaylen. The siblings continue a familial line: their grandparents are music legends Joe Brown and Irwin Prescott; their parents are country stars Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott.

It was Randall Prescott that encouraged Kelly to move into the blues/soul genre on her first solo project. He was the album’s executive producer. The family ties continue: Kelly Prescott’s husband, Adam Puddington, co-wrote a number of the songs.

Kelly Prescott’s CD release takes place Friday, Jan. 28. 9 p.m. $10. Black Sheep Inn, 753 Riverside Dr., Wakefield. www.theblacksheepinn.com. With guest Anders Drerup.

Best Bet
Guitar-slingin’ country singer Jehan Khoorshed saves it all for the song. He is quiet and unassuming in person, but comes alive in his song-stories about romantic decline. He has a rich storyteller’s tone and a way of unfolding a narrative that avoids the tired clichés. Rather than mulling over sappy platitudes about screwing up, he deftly unravels real-life complexities. The songs are catchy too. See him Friday, Jan. 28. 9:30 p.m. $6. Elmdale Tavern, 1084 Wellington St. W. www.elmdaletavern.com. With Jack Pelletier & The Battle of Ontario.
