May is usually when it starts to slow down events-wise here in Sarasota-Manatee, but you wouldn't know that from this edition of concert picks. Performers set to visit us this week include a Grammy winner who's one of the best-selling musicians of all time, along with artists who've won or been nominated for Latin Grammys, Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammys) and Blues Music Awards. This week's concert picks also include two rising stars from Nashville: a country musician who recently shared the stage with Keith Urban at the CMT Music Awards, and a singer-songwriter who had a track of theirs named to a best-of list alongside names such as Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

Event details are subject to change.
