Monday: Norah Jones, Candles at Stubb’s. Austin’s getting Jones at the tail end of an extended worldwide tour to support “Day Breaks,” her sixth solo album, which came out last fall. Jones’ piano-based brand of pop often has leaned toward jazz, so it’s fitting that she dipped into the songbooks of Duke Ellington and Horace Silver on “Day Breaks,” though most of the material is original. (Jones taped an episode of “Austin City Limits” at ACL Live the night before her Stubb’s show, which is sold out.) 7 p.m. 801 Red River St. stubbsaustin.com — P.B.
