Makana
Folk/rock/slack key
8 p.m. Wednesday Feb. 20
Miner’s Foundry (Nevada City)
“Mourning Armageddon,” the newest tune from folk artist Makana, was inspired in the aftermath of the January 2018 false-alarm alert of a nuclear missile about to strike his native Hawaii. That event also spurred Makana to do a two-week goodwill concert tour in Russia and record a video for the viscerally haunting song in an abandoned nuclear fallout bunker underneath Moscow. “Mourning” is an intense addition to Makana’s already expansive catalog; his current “Sunset Tour” is slated to be his final solo slack key guitar tour for the foreseeable future. $25 adv./$30 door. www.minersfoundry.org.
Mark Hummel’s Golden State Lone Star Revue
Blues/rock
8 p.m. Friday Feb. 15
Palms Playhouse (Winters)
One of harp master and vivacious showman Mark Hummel’s newest bands of merry men, the Golden State Lone Star Revue, is a pure romp through the shady groves and dusty trails of West Coast electric blues, featuring heralded axeman Anson Funderburgh (of Anson & the Rockets), guitarist Mike Keller (Fabulous Thunderbirds/Marcia Ball/The Keller Brothers), drummer Wes Starr and bassist RW Grigsby; that’s two Californians and three Texans in total, in case you needed an idea of what kind of shack-shaking we’re talking about here. $20. www.palmsplayhouse.com.
Looking ahead: Sol Blume Fest. April 27 at Cesar Chavez Plaza. After a sterling debut in year one, the sophomore installment of this upstart one-day festival features a headlining performance from Miguel, with Jessie Reyez, Queen Naija, J.I.D. and several others. www.solblume.com.
