Joe Bomamassa at The National
Say it ain't so Joe. Well, too bad, it is so, Joe did apprentice (kind of) with guitar great Danny Gatton when he was but 12. Some say he's the best guitarist of his generation. Is that so, Joe? Tickets are $30. Showtime 8 p.m.

Jaguares at The National
On of Mexico's most beloved rock bands, ever, Jaguares is sure to make waves in the US too, given the growth of many immigrant communities in this country. But how did they get their name? The founder dreamed he was singing in a jaguar's mouth. Tickets are $25. Showtime 8 p.m.

Kid Theodore at The Triple
These young indie-popsters each play many instruments and during a show they switch-off more than a Mormon polygamist does wives. Call (804) 359-7777 for ticket information. Showtime 10 p.m.
Tuesday, October 21
Kentucky Nightmare at The Triple
Their name might suggest a bourbon hangover, but they are much too earnest and cheerful for all that. They play some of that their 94 proof indie pop, in case you were wondering. Six (probably a reference to the number of beers in a cardboard carrier found in grocery stores) opens the show. Call (804) 359-7777 for ticket information. 10 p.m.
