Jabe at the Burren: Locally based Jabe just released a new album, ''Drama City,'' and was celebrating it with this gig. Much-improved singer Jabe Beyer has been a leader of the local roots-music renaissance and proved it with an exceptional, high-energy performance. There are echoes of Tom Petty and the Eagles in his sound, as well as influences from the Old 97s and Sixteen Horsepower (who are also thanked on the album). It made for great Americana party music, tailor-made for sweeping your cares away.
