Although very little can trump Jeff Bridges’ stellar performance in 1998’s The Big Lebowski, this multifaceted artist has many sides to him. Unlike other movie stars who delve into music and crash hard, Bridges has proved himself a worthy musician and able frontman. Though some point out that his success is because of producer T-Bone Burnett, one listen to his live album will make naysayers take notice. If you’re a fan of lazy country, you are urged to catch one of his three shows in NorCal this week: In addition to playing Sacramento, he’ll play in Grass Valley on Friday and Chico on Saturday. Opening is Jessie Bridges, Jeff’s daughter. 1013 K Street, www.jeffbridges.com.
