MUSIC: Local MC Christylez Bacon performs at Strathmore‘s outdoor summer concert series. The first hip-hop artist to be featured as a Strathmore Artist-in-Residence, Christylez’s backing band includes some of the area’s top young jazz and classical musicians. 7 p.m. Free.

SPORTS: It’s a sporty night in the District. The Kastles play their last match of the season, against Anna Kournikova and the St. Louis Aces, at 7 p.m., and D.C. United take on the Houston Dynamo in a rescheduled match at RFK at 7:30 p.m. Pick your side and snap up some tickets.

KARAOKE: Kostume Karaoke has expanded to twice a month at Solly’s, so tonight is the first bonus night since the event moved to the U Street tavern. You can wear your own costume if you want, but it’s actually more fun to choose from the pile of ridiculous costume pieces and accessories on the table by the stage. Karaoke starts at 8 p.m., and stops whenever the bartenders can’t take it anymore. No cover.

MUSIC: Cincinnati’s poppy The Pomegranates play on the Black Cat’s backstage, with Tereu Tereu and Carlos I’m Pregnant!, both from Frederickburg, Va. $8. 9 p.m.

READING: Christian Lander’s 15 minutes are still not up. The brains behind Stuff White People Like is at Politics and Prose to move copies of his quickly assembled book, Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions. 7 p.m.
