What to do in Chicago: Deftones, Shemekia Copeland and a flower show at Garfield Park Conservatory
Deftones: With a 10th album reportedly on the way, the Deftones play the United Center on Monday night. More than 20 years ago, the Tribune called them 'a band that prefers to walk a crooked path.' Catch them before they play Glastonbury this summer. 7 p.m. March 31 at United Center, 1901 W. Madison St.; tickets from $214.50 at Snow Patrol: Following the release of their eighth studio album 'The Forest Is the Path,' the Northern Irish-Scottish indie rock band rolls into The Salt Shed. The band has come a long way since Derek died to 'Chasing Cars' during Season 11 of 'Grey's Anatomy.' Expect a potent mix of new and old. 7:30 p.m. April 1 at The Salt Shed, 1357 N. Elston Ave.; tickets $375 at Shemekia Copeland: The esteemed blues singer will perform music from her latest, Grammy-nominated album, 'Blame It on Eve.' It's no surprise the show is sold out, but if you can find a way, it'll be worth it. 8 p.m. March 30 at Space, 1245 Chicago Ave., Evanston; tickets at 'Sunny Afternoon': The American premiere of a jukebox musical documenting the early years of The Kinks is now playing at Chicago Shakespeare. Ray Davies, who was involved in the making of it, told the Tribune that it's meant for new audiences as much as longtime fans. And honestly, do The Kinks ever get old? Through April 27 in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare on Navy Pier, 800 E. Grand Ave.; tickets $104-$130 at Michael Yo: Perhaps you know him from his appearances on Joe Rogan's podcast — or maybe his own podcast, 'The Yo Show.' The actor and comedian will bring his latest stand-up show to Chicago. Sample his humor in his latest special, 'Snack Daddy.' 7:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. March 29 at The Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave.; tickets (ages 16+, 2 drink minimum) at 'Art Spiegelman — Disaster Is My Muse': If you haven't read 'Maus,' Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece … seriously? You're way overdue. And if you have, you already know this is the perfect moment to watch a documentary about this irreverent, cantankerous and uniquely American cartoonist. Even better, the film is followed by a Q&A with producer Alicia Sams and Chicago/Evanston cartoonist Emil Ferris ('My Favorite Thing Is Monsters'), moderated by WTTW's Mark Bazer. 1:45 p.m. March 30 at Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave.; tickets $12 at Midori: The renowned violinist who made her debut at age 11 with the New York Philharmonic will conclude her residency with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras with a concert this weekend. Midori, who serves as artistic director of the Ravinia Steans Music Institute Piano & Strings Program, will perform Derek Bermel's 'Spring Cadenzas' as part of the program. 3 p.m. March 30 at Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, 915 E. 60th St.; tickets $25 at 'Rooted in Mystery': Stop and smell the flowers — but linger a bit longer to admire the roots. Garfield Park Conservatory's Spring Flower Show focuses this year on the essential role roots play in the lives of plants. And it goes well beyond serving as a delivery system for water and nutrients; they emit chemical and electrical signals vital to plant survival. Neat stuff. Through May 11 at Garfield Park Conservatory, 300 N. Central Park Ave.; tickets up to $10 (Chicago residents free) at True Colors Drag Show: Zizi D-Lite, Chrysanthemum, Chrome Snatchica and George David will perform at this drag showcase featuring performers with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
