MONDAY
>> Lissy Rosemont, front woman for the D.C.-based folksy bluegrass band Junior League, will be performing solo tonight at the Black Cat’s backstage with Rose and Stella Schindler. Kick back and relax with the soothing sounds of this talented young banjo player and her very Norah Jones-esque vocals. $8, 9 p.m.

>> Shoghaken brings traditional Armenian folk music (think Asian and Turkish/middle-eastern styles) played using some unique instruments to the Saint Mark Presbyterian Church at 7:30 at 10701 Old Georgetown Rd. in Rockville.

>> The Laptop Orchestra, a Japanese outfit that sends sho/mouth organ sounds through computers, will be programming their sounds live at 7:30 at the Kennedy Center Theater Lab in a sold out performance.

>> Without the Jam’s main songwriter/vocalist Paul Weller, From the Jam may not be just like seeing everyone’s fave late ’70s mod-pop-punk outfit. But instrumentally, with 2/3 of the original trio, it may sound pretty much like they once did. Stranglers vocalist Hugh Cornwell opens this nostalgic evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Birchmere. $27.50.

TUESDAY
>> Remember the Butthole Surfers? You can relive your favorite psychedelic rock moments from the ‘80s and ‘90s at the Rock and Roll Hotel as Gibby Haynes (pictured) returns to channel the intensity and intricacy of their shows through America’s youth. The Surfers frontman will join School of Rock All-Stars as part of the Paul Green School of Rock Guest Professor Series, which enables the school’s most promising young musicians to perform with legends of the rock world. $15, 8:30 p.m.
