Above: Classic rock trouper Maxim Ludwig, onetime prodigy and possibly a future Most Interesting Man in the World, has had his ups and downs since he first stirred up a fuss around 2008. The 28-year-old singer-songwriter has hit his stride with “Libra-Scorpio Cusp,” a soulful and bravado-filled debut album that came out Friday. He celebrates the release with a show Friday at the Bootleg Theater. Tickets.
