Top weekend shows: St. Vincent, Andrew Bird

St. Vincent: Annie Clark’s 2011 date in Chicago following the release of her  “Strange Mercy” album was marred by some technical issues that muted her world-class guitar playing. Here’s hoping this time her shredding talents come through loud and clear, 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield Ave., (sold  out); jamusa.com.
