Pop-folk singer-songwriter from Milwaukee who gets most attention for his intricately virtuosic acoustic guitar playing. His music blends roots-pop with elements of funk and country, and his songs span a wide range of moods, from the trucker-inspired “Jesus on the Grille” and the girl-in-the-diner ode “Glow” to the erotic mysticism of “Watercolor.” A favorite with local audiences. Opening act is Luke Doucet, a Canadian indie folk-rock singer-songwriter known for his absorbing story songs and virtuoso guitar playing. $17.50. [venue info]

Club Above: Borax

Reunion of this uncompromisingly silly mid-90s local quintet that blends lurching rhythms, warped hardcore tunes, occasional lapses into tastefully executed lounge-trash, and lost-love/horror-movie lyrics. Opening acts are Voodoo Lawnmowers, a (locally) legendary local mid-80s punk band, and Blammo, a veteran local sextet that plays a blend of wickedly humorous, socially observant originals and choice punk covers by the likes of Patti Smith, the Dead Kennedys, X, and the Ramones.
