To-do list
BRITISH SOUL Did you catch James Morrison the other night on Leno? Yeah, there’s a bit of disconnect between his balmy Memphis soul sound and pale, skinny Brit appearance. But like fellow Jameses Blunt and Cullum, Morrison’s doing great by the genre (six million album sales worldwide). He sounds most assured on his current (third) album “The Awakening.” Honeyhoney opens. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8 p.m. Monday, $25, 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.

BLAST FROM THE PAST
In the psychedelic hey-daze, Lydia Pense was a queen of the San Francisco scene, especially Fillmore West. Club proprietor Bill Graham signed the belter and her band Cold Blood to his record label. The group was often compared to Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Company, though Cold Blood's uptown, funky soul-revue was far more polished. How have they held up? Find out Thursday, 8 p.m. at Kennett Flash, 102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, $20, 484-732-8295, kennettflash org.
