Yellowman at The Fox Theatre: 8 p.m. Thursday, The Fox Theatre, 1135 13th St., Boulder. Jamaica’s first dancehall superstar, Yellowman ushered in a new era in reggae music following Bob Marley’s death. His early ’80s success brought the popularity of toasting — the reggae equivalent of rapping — to a whole new level and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. For better or for worse, he also epitomized dancehall’s penchant for “slack” lyrics: casual violence, sexism, homophobia and general rudeness. $25-$30, z2ent.com.
