Mon. March 19

Two ways to see the yearning Pete Yorn, who got his break by landing a song in the Farrelly Brothers "Me, Myself & Irene": At Avalon Monday night with a 9 p.m. show costing $25 or for free at First Act Guitar Studio at 745 Boylston St. at 6. First Act sits under 100 people, and loves featuring soft-rock or folkie acts. Problem is, Yorn is so popular he'd cause Boylston street traffic delays - like that'd be new - so you must listen to WFNX-FM (101.7) throughout the day in attempt to win a pass. Sorry, we don't make the rules. For this tour, supporting his current disc "Nightcrawler," Yorn is being backed by the Brit band Minibar, which also precedes him. As does Moses Mayfield. That's at Avalon. We're guessing Yorn goes it alone at First Act.
