MONDAY
>> Tooth and Nail Records, a Seattle based Christian rock label, is touring the country with headliners Anberlin and Emery with guests The Fold, The Classic Crime, and Jonezetta. Regardless of your beliefs, Anberlin is a must see, especially if you’re a fan of Virginia-based MAE, and they’re by no means trying to convert people. $15, 9:30 Club, 7pm Doors.

>> “Gris- Gris is sometimes referred to as the iron fist of Voodoo due to its hammer-like quality of relentless pounding until the spell takes effect. Once a Gris-Gris spell is cast, the momentum slowly builds until it becomes an unstoppable force.” Head on down to the Black Cat and see if these guys from Oakland, CA live up to their name, with opener Brian Glaze. $7, backstage, 9pm.

TUESDAY
>> Canadian alt rockers and Timmins siblings, Cowboy Junkies, are playing two SOLD OUT shows tonight and tomorrow at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA with Finlayson/Maize. $29.50, 7:30pm.
