7 Shows to See in Philly This Week: London Grammar, Asaf Avidan, Adia Victoria + More

Monday: Asaf Avidan ($20)

Standing on stage lanky and mohawk-ed,  you would probably expect Asaf Avidan to burst into a played-out punk rock anthem. The crooner is far from mainstream, though, breaking both vocal and gender boundaries with his remarkable voice, which has been compared to the likes of Janis Joplin, Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone. "The human voice has a whole spectrum we just don't use because we have these weird taboos and manners, and these ideas about masculinity," Avidan explains. With YouTube views well into the millions, his particular spectrum seems to be working. Tickets are available for purchase online. Listen before you go: "This Cool." Monday, January 26th, 8 p.m., Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden Street.
