Another Sunday. Another music-filled week ahead in Syracuse, central and upstate New York. Here are my concert picks of the week, shows to keep your ears open for. Plus I added a few more goodies, including comedy and music.

Ray Lamontagne’s show in Ithaca would have made the list, but (like Modest Mouse last week) the show’s been sold out for a while.
