AN EVENING WITH BENJI HUGHES The Hirsute One returns from another West Coast sojourn for a night of debauched hometown balladry. It’s been three-plus years since A Love Extreme made its big double-disc splash (well, “big” regionally speaking; New West dropped Hughes shortly afterward), and it’s been quiet on the new-material front. Live, Hughes can be transcendent or train-wreck — despite the best efforts of a crack band of locals, you never know whether “The Mummy” will show up and unravel Hughes’ shows. But you can always count on the songwriting to be among the very best going, period end-stop. $10/$12. Snug Harbor. www.snugrock.com.
