MUSIC: Artomatic hosts a free performance from local shoegazers Screen Vinyl Image. The band’s hazy sound and atmospheric visuals should provide a nice compliment to the visual art overload housed inside the eight story building. Free, 8 p.m.

DJ: To accommodate people leaving town for the extended weekend, Rebirth is happening one day earlier than usual. What remains the same are the venue, Mirrors (33 New York Ave NE), and a strong selection of house music DJed by Sam Burns and DJ Oji, among others. $10, 9 p.m.

JAZZ: Under-appreciated pianist Dick Morgan is one of the most soulful, swingin’, and entertaining jazz musicians on the circuit today. The veteran has performed with artists ranging from Sinatra to Etta James. Tonight he leads his own group with 8 and 10 p.m. sets at Blues Alley. Tickets are $25 + $12.50 minimum/surcharge.

ART: Flashpoint hosts an opening reception tonight for Artist Tai Hwa Goh, whose prints use multiple layers to create depth and intricate designs on paper. 6 to 8 p.m.

MUSIC: Islands, the primary Unicorns splinter group, will play their eccentric, quirky take on indie-pop tonight at the Black Cat. Magic and Street Carnage open. $15, 8 p.m.

MOVIE: Wolf Trap is hosting a special screening of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on a giant HD screen, complete with the Filene Center Orchestra, the City Choir of Washington and the World Children’s Choir performing the soundtrack live. Frodo lives! 8:30 p.m., $25 to $55.
