CHRIS YOUNG
Wednesday: The only champ from the TV talent contest "Nashville Star" to make it big in country music, Young landed his first No. 1 country album last fall with "I'm Comin' Over," the title track of his fifth album. His romantic songs, such as the missing-you ballad "Sober Saturday Night" (with Vince Gill), make women swoon, but "Underdogs" shows he can rock like Eric Church. Opening is Cassadee Pope, "The Voice" champion from 2012 who duets with Young on the current single "Think of You." (7:30 p.m. Wed. $35-$55. Northrop, University of Minnesota, 84 SE. Church St., Mpls. 612-624-2345, northrop.umn.edu.)
