Let’s check out the options.Canadian songwriter Julie Doiron sings deeply affecting indie-folk with weighty tinges and thought-provoking lyrics. She’s also carved out an impressive career in underground and indie music, fronting Eric’s Trip, the first Canadian band to be signed to Sub Pop, before launching a solo career overflowing with gorgeous albums. She’s also collaborated with Phil Elverum , Okkervil River and more. Opener Little Mazarn also could be classified as “folk,” but the Austin group’s magic transcends simple genres, weaving an intoxicating stillness and space.North Mississippi All Stars North Mississippi All Stars have been cranking out real-deal Southern Blues for decades now. Founded by Luther and Cody Dickinson — sons of legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson — the band has topped the Billboard charts, been nominated for Grammys, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the game: Lucinda Williams, the Black Crowes and more.Thursday, March 5Pat Metheny is a guitar monster, just one that largely shreds in the jazz idiom instead of rock. Some fans may be drawn to his more intense straight-jazz soloing, others his journeys into abstraction and yet others into his lyrical and accessible work that draws from funk, pop and world music. This is, after all, a guy who’s won 20 Grammy Awards in 12 different categories. Should be interesting what the maestro has in mind for his SA gig with Side-Eye, a group comprised of some of NYC’s finest jazz up-and-comers. $76, 7:30 p.m., Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N St. Mary’s St., 226-5700, majesticempire.com. Memphis-based alt-country outfit Lucero has been grinding it out for nearly 30 years, so it stands to reason it’s got some albums celebrating special anniversaries. Namely, the band will celebrate the 20th birthday of the albumwith a complete run-through. Best known for a Southern-inspired take on alt-rock with punk and soul influences, it’s a good bet Lucero will bring the heat.Solya, Tele Novella Just when you think the music scene feels overrun by middle-aged grumps, here comes 19-year Solya, plying impressively produced, sultry indie-folk from far West Texas. Opener Tele Novella is a great match, offering smart songwriting and exquisite arrangements.KEEP SA CURRENT!

The gauzy electronica-drenched hip-hop of 2hollis straddles the line between substance and style. The Chicago native’s lyrics emerge from a cloud of synths and beats that would feel at home in a futuremovie. Which makes sense considering 2hollis got his big break when his 2023 single “Poster Boy” was included on a popular video game soundtrack. Also worth a mention, he may have inherited his love of off-kilter beats from his father, John Herndon, the drummer for post-rock band Tortoise.Saturday, March 7An eclectic mix of jazz, R&B and electronica form the foundation of LA-based trio Moonchild, which bonded while on lead singer Amber Navran’s 2011 solo tour. All three studied jazz at USC, and their debut albumdrew high praise from soulful stalwarts Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott. Moonchild’s newest album,$48.19-$189.50, 8 p.m., Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N St. Mary’s St., 226-5700, majesticempire.com.
