Feb. 11: Whitney
For the boho-chic pair still rocking The Band’s Music from Big Pink, try the sepia-tinged psych-pop of Chicago buzz band Whitney. With horns, clear falsettos and ’60s-indebted hooks, the act’s wistful nostalgia is a sunny Valentine’s cure for February doldrums. 8 p.m. Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, 216-383-1124, beachlandballroom.com
Feb. 13-16: Cleveland Orchestra’s Beethoven and Mozart program
You both prefer the classics — like pre-recorded music classic. Settle in here for a set from the masters, including Beethoven’s Overture from Egmont and Mozart’s Symphony No. 41. Arrive pre-show on Friday for a talk about the composers from Case Western Reserve University professor David Rothenburg. Call or visit website for times. Severance Hall, 11001 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-231-1111, clevelandorchestra.com
Feb. 14 & 15: Cody Jinks
A shot of modern outlaw country with a touch of grungy gravel, Jinks’ rich baritone has made him a cult favorite and critical darling. Swing your sweetie to the fiddle and Haggard-esque melodies at this two-night stay supporting the Texan’s two 2019 LPs. 7 p.m. Masonic Cleveland, 3615 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-881-6350, masoniccleveland.com
Feb. 15: Trippie Redd
Ahh, the romance of Trippie Redd. Ok, the Canton SoundCloud rapper doesn’t scream “ambiance,” but he’s perfect for a partner with an ear toward rap’s genre-bending future. Look past his feuds for the red-mopped rhyme smith’s chameleonic flows, emo influences and easy charisma he’s shown on tracks with Drake and Travis Scott. 7 p.m. Agora Cleveland, 5000 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-881-2221, agoracleveland.com
