Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Thee Oh Sees, Second Cousins Great American Music Hall Sat., August 30, 9:00pm Nob Hill/Russian Hill
God knows what toxins they put in the water supply of Denver, Colo., but there’s no denying the city’s status as the capital of weird gothic Americana. Case in point: Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, a 15-year veteran of the genre that sets tales of damnation (and demon liquor) to... More >>
Laura Gibson, Alela Diane, Night Canopy Café Du Nord Sun., August 31, 8:00pm Castro/Noe Valley
With enduring ensembles such as Low plus the new wave of avant-folk — Joanna Newsom and Faun Fables, to name but two exponents — the argument can be made that quiet is the new loud. Understated sounds can be and frequently are more subversive than deafening ones, if for no other reason... More >>
Joe Nick Patoski Booksmith Tue., September 2, 7:30pm Haight/Fillmore
Texas hippie icon Willie Nelson has everything we wish we had: He wrote "Crazy"; Muhammad Ali visits his tour bus; he recorded "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" after Brokeback Mountain came out; and as everyone knows, he sings like an intoxicated demigod.

10th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival Golden Gate Park, Speedway Meadow Sat., September 6, 9:00am Richmond (Outer)
True, the thought of a day-long “yoga jam” gives me chills — I mean, the very phrase “yoga jam” sounds like something you’d need a prescription cream to treat — but a free, all-ages music fest in Golden Gate Park is hard to oppose on any grounds. If you’re... More >>
Yard Dogs Road Show The Fillmore Sat., September 6, 9:00pm Japantown/Pacific Heights
There’s a bit of mystery surrounding the birth of the Yard Dogs Road Show. They’re based in San Francisco, but rarely play here. Founder Eddy Joe Cotton, author of the freight-train-jumping memoir Hobo, claims they just crawled out of the forest as a show without a stage, performing in... More >>
Mirah & Spectratone International: Share This Place Swedish American Hall Mon., September 8, 7:30pm Castro/Noe Valley
It's a stellar night at the 2170s: Downstairs, Penelope Houston is raising money for music in public schools, and upstairs, Mirah and Spectratone International perform Share This Place. A song cycle in contemplation and celebration of insects, the performance accompanies stop-motion found-object... More >>
